You are using a model form. The model form has a model selection in
it. You want the select to have different labels.

Labels on a model selection field come from the __unicode__ method of
the model, or from the label_from_instance of the model field class.

Model forms allow you to specify the classes to use for each model attribute.

Hence:

Define a new class derived from ModelChoiceField (not called ModelChoiceField).
Add a label_from_instance method to the new class
Configure your ModelForm to use this new field instead of ModelChoiceField

All of this is explained in the docs. Read the docs.
