Auto Fill Field when Creating New Opportunity

My company has a set list of Opportunity names that we use, when creating a new opportunity. Ideally we would like to use a dropdown list to populate the Opportunity Name, so that all names are universal, but that is not currently option within Salesforce. The only work around I have figured out is to have a seperate dropdown field in Opportunites with the names I want to use, then use a workflow rule to update Opportunity Name with that field when it is saved.  

 

I am currently trying to have Opportunity Name autofill with "Default Name" whenever a user clicks "New" under the Opportunity tab. I was trying to override the new button with an s-control URL, but it is not working:

 

006/e?retURL=%2F006%2Fo&opp3=DefaultName

 

Is there a way to get the standard saleforce page with a field already filled?
