The Spice model name for cell instances is simply the name of the cell.  If 
you want a different name, change the cell name.  Another approach is to 
use a Spice template for the cell.  This is an arbritrary string that gets 
emitted to the Spice deck in place of the actual contents of the cell.  The 
string can be parameterized, so you can vary it from instance to instance.
