The name of the file (including the extension) is set when you (or the user)
saves the file.

I don't think you can control how excel names workbooks that are created based
on template files.

Well, you could provide a macro that creates the file and then saves the file
with the name (and location) you want.

Such as using MyWorkbook.xlt to open MyWorkBookToday.xls instead of
MyWorkbook1.xls.
