Change printed variable names for summary()

I am using summary() to create a, yes, summary from my regression. What now is printed is my variable names, including underscore.

Is there any way to change the printed variable names so that I can see e.g. "Age of dog" instead of dog_age.

I can not change the variable names since they can not contain spaces.

Something like this?

> x <- summary(lm(mpg ~ cyl+wt, mtcars))
> rownames(x$coef) <- c("YOUR", "NAMES", "HERE")
> x$coef

#       Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)    
# YOUR   39.6863     1.7150  23.141  < 2e-16 
# NAMES  -1.5078     0.4147  -3.636 0.001064 
# HERE   -3.1910     0.7569  -4.216 0.000222

Or you could just change the names in the data before running regression

> names(mtcars)[1:3] <- rownames(x$coef)
> lm(YOUR ~ NAMES+HERE, mtcars)

# Call:
# lm(formula = YOUR ~ NAMES + HERE, data = mtcars)

# Coefficients:
# (Intercept)        NAMES         HERE  
#    34.66099     -1.58728     -0.02058

You can use backtick ` to introduce spaces in variables:

dat = data.frame(`Age of dog`=1:10,`T`=1:10,check.names=FALSE)
summary(lm(T~`Age of dog`,data=dat))
