I'm not lispy enough to implement this, but I have an idea where you might 
start. See:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-08/msg00594.html

Which is a thread which discussed (and provided an implementation for) named 
python sessions. Specifically, it uses the ":session foo" variable to modify 
the name of the special-edit buffer. Genercially, it uses something from the 
Babel header to modify something about special edit buffer, which is what I 
think you want to do.

Good luck,

  -k.
