What to pick for "localhost.localdomain"?

Having run Linux for years now, with multiple machines behind a
broadband router, I still am totally unclear on the concept of what to
pick for "localhost" and "localdomain" when installing a new box.
So, I added a new box to my home network of computers.
Using Fedora FC5.
At this point in time, all my home computers connect to a router,
which connects to a cable broadband provider. But I move pretty
regularly, so I don't want to use "cablecompany.com" as the domain
(and that may not be right anyway).
How do I set up my multiple computers and their hostnames?
Some computers have static IP address (for running servers), some use DHCP.
Any tips?
Just invent a domain?
"mydomain"
And then use:
"host1", "host2", etc for my home computers?
