IMHO, NetworkManager should cope with whatever name is assigned to a device.
AFAIK, device names are only "suggestions" by the drivers; the user may
rename the device name (either by "ip link set name", with ifrename or
with udev rules) to his liking, e.g. home.
Granted, seems a bit of an overkill to rename a device on a machine
where NetworkManager is in charge of the device but still, there is no
reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
