Well spotted, thanks. Eventlet magic strikes again :/

My 2c: if names don't uniquely name things, they're not particularly 
useful. i.e. if any other user in your tenant (or even you yourself) can 
[accidentally?] create something with the same name as your thing, then 
you have no choice but to remember the UUID of everything you create, 
lest you be unable to find it again.

I can't speak for everyone, but I find names easier to remember than UUIDs.
