No, grandma won't do that. But if grandma's geek nephew had previously setup that hostname in the family network for grandma's laptop on the router (=DHCP,DNS,etc.), newphew would not have to enter the hostname again if he sets up grandma's computer a second (or tenth) time. For computers in DHCP-named networks this would make sense.
