My iMac's name has a number in parentheses at the end that keeps changing. Why?
I'm running OS 10.10.3, but it was doing the same thing with prior versions. This causes problems when other divices are trying to communicate.

This is a Yosemite bug that persists despite Apple's repeated attempts to rectify it.
Power down all your network devices - router, Macs, AppleTV if you have one, everything that can possibly have a network connection.
Then power them up again. That may fix it. If it does, it may occur again anyway.
