Add this to your .emacs:
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (rename-buffer "shell")))
If you want to have multiple shells each with a unique name generated without the asterisks you can do this:
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (rename-buffer (generate-new-buffer-name "shell"))))
This will produce a buffer named shell on the first invocation and will produce buffers named shell<n>, where n is a unique number starting with 2 and incrementing by one, with each subsequent invocation of the shell. If you don't like the <>'s you will have to get more creative inside the lambda expression to strip them out.

If you have a recent (21.x) version of emacs, give `M-x shell' command a
prefix argument, e.g., `C-u M-x shell', and it will prompt you for a
name.
Otherwise, you could always use `M-x rename-buffer' after you create
the shell.
