In the Map's menu\init.con file you can use this line:

game.setServerBrowserMapName "PoE_El_Alamein"

I believe that the game ignores the underscores when it's displayed.

use the control character Alt+255 instead of a space.

didn't do anything.
EDIT: i read other sites and it said something about adding the map to some file called lexiconall.dat (i think).

Yes, it appears that editing the leconall.dat file would be the only way to change the way the map name is displayed. But the lexiconAll.dat file needs to be changed in a mod, not in a map.

The tools are in the MDT. Choose the show all tools button. Its a command line tool. The readme file has instuctions on how to use it .

ONLY MAKE THE CHANGES IN A MOD!!!!

You will need to add an entry for your map following this example:

So if you wanted Battle_of_Britain renamed with a leading FH you would have to have an entry like:

**
Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##
FH Battle of Britain
##

The lexiconAll.dat file works the same as in BF42. There are a few other tricks you can do with it in this thread:
