You can choose to adopt a name or keep the guest name; it's up to you.

The guest RNG is defined in the [https://github.com/computernewb/collab-vm-server-1.2/blob/master/src/CollabVM.cpp#L264 collab-vm-server source code; CollabVM.cpp, line 264]. You can increase or lower this amount if you want.

The guest name itself is defined in CollabVM.cpp between lines [https://github.com/computernewb/collab-vm-server-1.2/blob/master/src/CollabVM.cpp#L1553 1553] and [https://github.com/computernewb/collab-vm-server-1.2/blob/master/src/CollabVM.cpp#L1555 1555]. You can change this to something else like "anon" if you want.
