Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Let me put in a little bit of info related to the russian train names. Usually the most of express overnight trains have own names but those names are not usuable like in other countries such like US what I am informed. The best used form of train's name is composition of starting and ending points of service. Such like Rostov-Shakhty or Vladivistok-Pogranichnoe.
Regards.

afaik long-distance trains in USA also have personalized names:
like "Empire Builder" or "Coast Starlight"
same for Russia: "Ural", "South Ural", "Belyue Nochi" (White nights), etc.
name of the train usually is a place or memorable word related to train origin or destination city.
