I don't see a way to change the default, but one thing you can do is to
create one text field in the table then highlight that field by clicking the
button to the left of the field and choose Copy. Then paste the field as
many times as needed to add more text fields to the table. This will copy
all of the properties of the text field, including its name. Then go back
and type in the names for the pasted fields to change them to what you want.
