Try the aterm manpage, the options are a bit tricky:

-name : Specify  the application name under which resources are 
	obtained; also sets icon and title name

-title: set title-string, but not icon name

-e    : command to execute, also sets icon name and title, unless 
	-T|-title or -n option are given.


As I understand this, you should use:

aterm -T Machine -n Machine --fancy_aterm_options -e ssh -l user host
