Another option is to disable the display of the "Main Page" header on the Main Page only. That should allow you to place any other heading on the page that you like, without actually changing the name of the page. To do this, edit the page MediaWiki:Monobook.js and add the following text:
if (isMainPage && !isDiff) { document.write('<style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/ #lastmod, #siteSub, #contentSub, h1.firstHeading { display: none !important; } /*]]>*/</style>'); }

Just change this page in your wiki: MediaWiki:Mainpage [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]]
If I go to:
MediaWiki:Mainpage
and click "edit", I just see
Main Page
If I change that text, then the system wants to look for a page with the next text as the main page.
Please remember, I don't want to change the URL of the main page, just the displayed text "Main Page".
