You need to change manifest.json file, you might find it in public folder which is created by create-react-app.

manifest.json file is used by serviceWorker to let user install your webapp as a app, you can skip short_name property, but you should provide a proper name. but skipping both won't casue any problem in functionality of the app, in this case browser will use default name (i.e. untitled) for your app.

In my suggestion, you should provide both short_name and name property.

In there

{
  "short_name": "React App",
  "name": "Create React App Sample", // you need to change this
  "icons": [
    {
      "src": "favicon.ico",
      "sizes": "192x192",
      "type": "image/png"
    }
  ],
  "start_url": "./index.html",
  "display": "standalone",
  "theme_color": "#000000",
  "background_color": "#ffffff"
}
