Thanks for this!  I didn't know that completion was possible at that
point.  Mind you, the list of possible completions seems to be somewhat
limited.  I wonder where the list comes from? (I know: I should look at
the code... ;-)

For the OP, I use yasnippet [1] to introduce src code blocks:

,----[ src ]
| #name : #+begin_src language options ...#+end_src
| # --
| #+name: $1
| #+begin_src $2 $3
| $0
| #+end_src
`----
