Can I change the html name generated by Html.DropDownListFor?

Question

IDI am using the following code to create a drop down list:

 @for (var index = 0; index < Model.AdminSummaries.Count(); index++) 
            { 
            &

Sometimes the HTML helpers don't HELP. DropDownListFor coding can get complicated real fast and in the end it's just rendering HTML so sometimes it's better to go old school

    @foreach (SelectListItem item in Model.SomeSelectList) {
        if (item.Value ==  Model.theValue) {
            @item.Text
        } else {
            @item.Text
        }
    }
