You are REQUIRED to configure an alternative name for an alternative host(IP). This is good!
On the other hand 1Remote will always display the first name in the banner/title and not the alternative name.
This is a bug, and makes it impossible to see which address was used.

I suddenly realized that the "alternative name" is simply the name for a substitute address or account, while the "first name" is the server's name. Therefore, displaying the alternative name directly is not appropriate.

I would change it to display as server's name(alternative name)

Whatever is in the first line (account name?):

BTW, my use case is connecting to either wired IP or WiFi IP of the same Laptop...

Showing the IP (or the IP /computer network name) too on the title bar, is a good idea , maybe add an option for that, instead of having to manually edit it into that "name" box?

Not good, having too many options will lead confusion. considering someone wants to display username as well, add more and more options?
