Someone may have proposed this before, but one way of getting standby naming "for free" would be to make the standby names the same as the roles used to log in, rather than adding a separate parameter.

Then the synchronous_standbys parameter - when added - would mean "a standby from one of these roles".
Seems a bit weird. It's not a lot of effort to give each standby a name. But if you want something automatic, how about gethostname() ?
