... and puts it in `axiom-mode'. FWIW that's what your code does at the
moment.

Why do you want to rename the buffer?

The only variable I can think of at the moment is `axiom-process'.

A priori a symbol defined as a variable doesn't relate to buffers hence
it "is global".

You should defvar them first and make them buffer-local either by using
`make-variable-buffer-local' or, better, `make-local-variable'. A
typical idiom in this context is
(set (make-local-variable 'foo) value)
which makes foo buffer-local and assigns it value.
If you really need multiple axiom processes - so far you didn't tell me
_why_ you need them - you would make `axiom-process' local in the buffer
where you create the process and set it to the process object returned
by comint. Otherwise, I see no need to change anything here.
