Hi Marko, I would give this tool a try: http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/ It lets you execute a full PowerShell scripted install and you have full control over all database names.
I recommend you learn how to use this first on another non-production setup. You're going to have to invest a bit of time trying it out and and testing a few installs in a non-prod farm first. After that investment of time you should be able to spin up future SharePoint farms in a fraction of the time. Sezai.
