You could use the free version of UV Mapper. That allows you to rename and combine object and material groups, or to turn material groups into objects, and vice versa. Can't you alter the object names in Silo? I can alter them in Cinema4D and Wings. (You could also use Wings, or any of the other free modelling programs out there. But check and make sure if Silo can't do this in the program)
