The future is famously unpredictable. (No need to cite references.) The
best practice is to name *everything* as if you were part of a larger
enterprise even though you see no prospect of a change. Up to and including
the whole world. A lot of 'single system' shops over the decades have
suddenly found themselves absorbing--or being absorbed by--some other
entity. The last thing you want in the midst of such a traumatic event is
having to rename lots of stuff to avoid collisions.
Long ago IBM recommended imbedding the SHARE installation code (yea for
us!) into any name that has our could conceivably have an external face.
That goes for JES node names as well as network names. Act as if your
'single system' SMF data might one day be merged in with other systems to
provide a unified enterprise view. And you're still in the saddle.
Never take names lightly. Most especially, do not name things casually with
the expectation that you can always rename them later. Naming is one of the
biggest headaches in company mergers. Do your future self the favor of
taking great care today.

I would follow Mark Zelden's recommendation and name your node something
like WIUJES2A.
