To answer my own question, the logic is inside
TCustomFormEditor.CreateUniqueComponentName, and there doesn't seem to
exist a reasonable way to change it.

Right, you are not the only one having trouble with component names :-(

In theory, I could try assigning my
own Name in constructor looking at my Owner, but then I also need to
make sure myself that the name is unique (add unique number suffix),
opening a can of worms (since I would have to replicate part of
TCustomFormEditor.CreateUniqueComponentName implementation then, and
fear that it can change one day :).

I already had to copy and implement my own version, for the dockable IDE layout save/restore.

I guess the class should just be renamed.

As a workaround, yes. But there should exist better means for dealing with component names, independent from the form designer (which is not normally part of an application).
