Is it possible to change that default folder name to current date name,
for example "20151223"?

With the assistance of AppleScript you can accomplish this.
Open AppleScript Editor, create a new document and paste the following stolen lines:
Save the file as AppleScript application (e.g. DateFolder.app) somewhere (e.g ~/Applications).
Open a folder and drop the DateFolder.app on the toolbar:
To create a folder in an open folder just hit the app's icon in the toolbar. The new folder will open automatically. Remove line 22 in the script (
open y
) if you don't want the new folder to be opened. If you add the app to the Dock and open it, it will create a new folder in the frontmost folder or on the desktop (if no folder is open).Only tested in Mac OS X 10.7.5. Lion!
To add a hyphen and the current time add the following lines (replacing line 32-34 in the script above):
