Tag a docker container?

Question

I have the following scenario:

Continuous Delivery with Docker
Build Image from GitHub repository
Stop the current running container
Start the current running container with the newer image

For stopping the container, I need the container ID. Can I assign a reusable tag to a container once I start it, so I know which container to stop, once a newer image is ready for deployment?
