Classification: Reproducible:
 
Summary:
With multiple Macs on the network, with Yosemite, it seems that something causes the name to get a number placed after it.  There is a thread on Macrumors here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1804719

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have multiple macs on the network
2. Over time, the Mac name in the sidebar of Finder as well as under sharing will get a number next to it
3. That number can keep incrementing

Expected Results:
No number should be added

Actual Results:
A number is added such as (2) or (3)

Version:
10.10 (14A389)

Thread referenced has multiple workarounds. Currently the one I'm using that has worked is turning off Wake for Wifi Network Access.
