Ivanka, to reframe Oliver's comment: we heavily promote the idea that lots of apps allow easy sharing with <machinename>.local. And all of those break if you end up with two machines called michael-desktop.local
So, we probably need to do this. I agree with your assessment that we do not want a whole new page, or Advanced rathole, for this. We could pre-populate the field using Michael's preferred algorithm of <user>-desktop|laptop|[netbook]?. In future we should probably ALSO do an avahi name check to see if that's going to conflict with something on the current network and default to a -2 or some other disambiguator accordingly.
