How do you download geocaches without the GC at the beginning?

Question

I downloaded the geocache GC2EEKQ to my gps and then I downloaded geocache GC2EEKV.  When I looked at my waypoints there was only one named GC2EEK and it had the coordinates for the last one I downloaded.  My Garmin Etrex h only has 6 characters for the waypoint name.  I downloaded the waypoints directly from geocaching.com.  Is there any a way at geocaching.com to leave the first two letters off the waypoint name?  Or is there a different program I can use to download the waypoints to my gps?

After you've downloaded your pocket query, open it with Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK).  When you send your selected caches to your GPS, you can use GSAK to change the name to anything you want, including stripping the "GC." 

Of course this all assumes you're a premium member and willing to pay the nominal fee or put up with the nag screen for GSAK as well.

yeah I have the same problem. I solve it like this:
I am looking if some of my caches are the same besides last letter
if yeah, then, after downloading the first of the similar, i change it's name. so then I download the other one, etc
