name
A name is an alphanumeric identifier associated with the named
entity. For unique identification, a name needs to be unique in
the context in which the name is used. A name can be mapped to an
address.
We're on the Internet. We're doing email. Me thinks the context
in which the name is used, is quite clear. sokol is not unique.
sokol.elan.net is (or at least should be).
See also RFC 2821, section 2.3.5 and understand "sokol" is a local alias.
