Most likely a bit similar as Ho to handle cryptic Column names? .
Alternate column name might work? https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/17.1/index.shtml#page/jmp/preferences-for-data-tables.shtml . It is extremely confusing how it works and it won't allow you selecting which to use though (it is either one or both). But I think you could set your column name to your symbol and then add two properties, Short Name and Long Name, and set those values.
This one creates a table with "long" and short name. Change the preference value to see how those behave
New Table("Untitled 5",
Add Rows(0),
Compress File When Saved(1),
New Column("A",
Numeric,
"Continuous",
Format("Best", 12),
Set Property("Short Name", A),
Set Property(
"Long Name", very long and confusing name which we do not want to use
),
Set Values([])
)
)
