Default My recycle bin icon exists, but the name is gone!

So I wanted to rename my recycle bin something funny,
like Oscar's House (like Oscar the Grouch).
I used the tweak from tweakxp.com and the microsoft
site. I got the pulldown menu option, "rename". And I
tried to rename my bin.
I accidentally hit the delete key, and now there's no
description under the icon. I can still right-click and
select "empty recycle bin", but when I select properties,
nothing happens.
When I try to rename the icon, nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
