Apex code naming convention on new record creation

I have the below trigger executing beautifully with 100% code coverage. Unfortunately when it creates a new record in the sandbox the Name of the record is the SFDC ID string referenced in the URL of the record. Is there any way to edit the code so readable text populates there instead of the ID string? For example using the name of one of the Parent objects (or combination of both) to easily identify the record

MerchOpps Name
a0aK0000004iSeQ
salesforce.com/a0aK0000004iSeQ

All you need to do is modify the "Name" field of the record.

So before line 20 you can add this line:
mo.Name = ma.Account_Name__c;
