There will then be a list of all workspaces available that has the names I gave them. I am not using this feature (send-to) often so it doesn't help much.

I'm not sure about your version of Xfce and attendant panels, but in min 
you can right-click on the workspace switcher, choose Properties, and 
select to have the names of the workspaces shown (instead of the 
"thumbnails" of the applications running on the workspaces) by ticking 
the "Show workspace names" checkbox.
