It's simple. Just use the attribute 'labels' of the class Meta:

class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        fields = ('name', 'title', 'birth_date')
        labels = {
            'name': 'new_name',
        }

where 'new name' will be the name displayed in the html.
