### Specifying names of variables in output of self.coordinate_ring()

Let E = EllipticCurve([1,2,3,4,5])

Then E.coordinate_ring() outputs a ring with generators

E.coordinate_ring().gens() = (xbar,ybar,zbar)

Is there a way to change the names of these variables at any point in this process?

generators.

E.coordinate_ring().gens()


yields

(xbar,ybar,zbar)

EDIT The goal is to have sage treat the underlying rings to be treated as unique objects. Currently if I execute

E1 = EllipticCurve([1,2,3,4,5]).coordinate_ring()
E1._names = ('a','b','c')
E2 = EllipticCurve([1,2,3,4,5]).coordinate_ring()
E2._names =('l','m','n')
E1;E2


I get

Quotient of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field by the ideal (-x^3 - 2*x^2*z + x*y*z + y^2*z - 4*x*z^2 + 3*y*z^2 - 5*z^3)
Quotient of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field by the ideal (-x^3 - 2*x^2*z + x*y*z + y^2*z - 4*x*z^2 + 3*y*z^2 - 5*z^3)


(An indication that the rings are "the same":

E1sing = E1._singular_()
E2sing = E2._singular_()

ProdE1E2sing = singular.ringtensor(E1sing,E2sing);
ProdE1E2.sage()


gives

Quotient of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field by the ideal (-x^3 - 2*x^2*z + x*y*z + y^2*z - 4*x*z^2 + 3*y*z^2 - 5*z^3)


whereas there should be 6 variables if the two rings were unique.)

Note: I have also tried to change the _gens, as well as injecting variables at every stage, but all with the same outcome.
