No.

Have the container provide the marker interface,
IContainerNamesContainer, which signals that the container
always picks a name.

To conteol how the name is chosen, implement or provide an
adapter to INameChooser.  There is a default adapter to
INameChooser that picks names for objects based on their class
names.

Note also that, as of the Bangalore sprint, the name chooser
will be used when the user doesn't pick a name.
