How do we set the rom name so when you use a tool like ezflash client the rom name appears ?

You have to edit the cart header in Crt0.S. If you're using Jeff's Ctr0, go down about 1/4 of the way and look for this:
Code:

    @ Game Title (80000A0h)
        .byte   0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00
        .byte   0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00

And put your title in like
Code:

    @ Game Title (80000A0h)
        .byte   'G','A','M','E',0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00
        .byte   0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00

You can also use a header tool on the rom image. I find F.A.T v8 the easiest to use.

EZF-Advance Client allows you to change the ROM name only for the loader by double clicking on it.

Several other tools for use to permanetly change it.

You can also do what DekuTree64 said but replace it with this.

@ Game Title (80000A0h) "
.ascii "ROM name"
