    It looks like the names being displayed in PyDev are the ones assigned by default.

    To fix that you can give a name to the thread when it’s created:

    threading.Thread(name=<name>, target=...)
    

    or, later, just by setting the name attribute:

    thread = threading.Thread(*args, **kwargs)
    thread.name = <name>
