I think I have a solution for you:
After
sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: f = -2*x^2-x+1
when you type latex(f) it runs the method f._latex_(), which has an extra
parameter called name:
sage: f._latex_?
Definition: f._latex_(self, name=None)
(etc etc)
so you can call this function directly like this, with your own name:
sage: f._latex_(name='alpha')
'-2 alpha^{2} - alpha + 1'
