You can call them anything you like, but if you expect sendmail to
recognize them, you'll have to set up and properly configure a private
DNS server.  MX records are required for that to work.  Most other 
traffic (file transfers, logins, and whatnot) don't need that 
complexity; you can just populate /etc/hosts on your workstations and 
be happy.
