In my experience, many devices already support mechanisms for friendly name acquisition. Many devices, including PCs, ask for names during setup. Others support UPnP friendly name service. Others have UIs to allow naming. What I really want (as a user) is for the device to have the same name in all contexts. So if it's been named, through whatever means, use that name. Which to me says we don't need a new standard for remote naming that all devices must support.
