I use the following snippet to name dired buffers with absolute names:

(add-hook 'dired-after-readin-hook
          (lambda ()
            ;; Name dired buffers by absolute directory names.
	    ;; Use `generate-new-buffer-name' for vc-directory
	    ;; which creates duplicate buffers.
            (rename-buffer (generate-new-buffer-name dired-directory))
            ))

You could use something like

  (rename-buffer (concat "<Dired>" (directory-file-name dired-directory)))
