If this is one he picks, how can I know that it's a good one?
And how do I prevent him from doing this?

The list of names (from the internal mDNS/DNS-SD, as well as DHCP hostnames)
is presented to the house owner, they click on the ones that the want to
be publically visible.  (They may also apply a security policy for access,
but that's not a naming issue)

There are no passwords.
