While setting up Boot Camp and installing Windows 7, Windows 7 asked me for a computer name. I gave it the same name that I used in my Mac OS X Lion installation. Is it OK to use the same computer name, or should I have used a different one?

Using the same computer name is OK. I had mine setup that way also.
