Two pretty simple answers are:

1. Add "Select" to your lookup source
2. Use Javascript and inject "Select" into the drop down.

JQuery example

    $firstOption = $('#selectID').first();
    $newOption = $('<option></option>').val(0).html('Select');
    $newOption.insertBefore($firstOption);
    $('#selectID').val(0)

If "none" is the first element on your other dropdown you can just update the HTML

     $firstOption.html('Select')
