If I remember correctly, the EXS only gives you a choice between 
samples that are identical -- i.e. not just having the same name, but 
having (at least) the same filelength as well.
So it might very well be that you just have 5 or more copies of the 
exact same sample on your HD.  If the EXS then lets you choose from 3 
of them, it wouldn't matter which one you pick, as they're all the 
same anyway.

But maybe I'm completely wrong here...

Renaming won't work, except when you _also_ manually update the EXS 
instruments.  Talking about "not appealing"...  Phew...
