Computer names are nothing to be concerned about, especially in a home network environment. They're just a way to distinguish between machines.

My own network is all based around Doctor Who (TARDIS, Dalek, Sonic Screwdriver, etc). If you're connected to someone's network, then yes they can see your computer's name. Not really something to be worried about in most cases.
