You can certainly give each handset a more sensible name if that's what 
you mean... From the web interface to the base station you can do this 
easily. My three handsets are now called "Alan's", "Helen's" and "Kitchen".

You can, according to the manual subscribe each handset to up to 4 
different base stations. The actual process of registering the handset 
requires manually pressing the Page button on the relevant base station, 
whilst the handset is in "register me" mode...

Hope this helps.
