But I do use the hostname as the VG, so I think that's best, probably

That doesn't sound particularly unique to me. If you set up a dual/multi
boot machine you'll probably want it to have the same hostname regardless of
the boot choice, and you are likely to install the whole thing in the same
day.
I wasn't talking of changing the hostname to include the date, but of
changing the VG to include the hostname *and* the date.
I thought the object here was to ensure that the VG's created by the
separate installs of a multi-boot host did not get the same
automatically-assigned name. You need the same thing for filesystem
labels, especially if you move disks around.
