Perhaps you'd also like to try this recent post by Jason Morin ..
---------
Assuming your target cell for the sheet name is B1, right-click on the
worksheet tab, select View Code, and paste in the following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Me.[B1], Target) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo InvalidName
Me.Name = Target.Value
Exit Sub
End If
InvalidName:
MsgBox "Invalid sheet name."
End Sub

---
Press ALT+Q to close the VBE.
---
Back in Excel, test it out by inputting the desired sheetname, say: Sheila
into cell B1. When you press ENTER, the sheetname will change to: Sheila

Here's a sample file with the implemented code :

Hi

=MID(CELL("filename";A1);FIND("]";CELL("filename";A1))+1;35)

The workbook must be saved, i.e. the formula doesn't work in freschly
created worlbook, until it is saved.
To refer to another sheet, replace A1 in formula with SheetName!A1.

Hi

Into cell where you want the sheet name to be displayed.

P.S. probably you have to replace semicolons in formula with commas!

Think the OP wanted it the other way round, Arvi ! <g
i.e. name the sheet from an input into a certain cell ..

Sorry, I must not have explained myself well. I want to be able to
name the worksheet from the contents of a particular cell on that
worksheet, not p-ut the worksheet name into a cell.
