You should specify "-name goofy", not "-n goofy" (of course, if you want
the *iconName attribute to be goofy, you need the latter as well). So,

% xterm -n goofy -name goofy -e rlogin goofy

should do what you want.  For common attributes, make entries
with the name "XTerm" instead of "xterm" in your .Xdefaults,
like "XTerm*jumpScroll:  on".  That way you don't need 20 resource
lines for each possible name you will call xterm.
