You don't need unique application names. Lets say you have one site and at the top of it you have <cfapplication name="myApp"> then you set some application variables somewhere in there. Then, you have another site on the same server, you can put <cfapplication name="myApp"> in that site and it will have access to the variables that are set in the first site. However, keep in mind, you want to be careful about multiple sites setting and getting variables to make sure that you're not relying on a variable that may not have been set. Especially when the server is rebooted or something like that. Many people have the misconception that the <cfapplication> tag has to go in the Application.cfm but that's not true. It can go at the top of each individual page and you could leave out the Application.cfm altogether. The Application.cfm just makes it easier because it gets called everytime.
