Always on Availability group question

  • Hello,

    I have a simple question in regards to Always on Availability group I have 2 questions and best explained in a scenario:

    Question 1:
    I have 2 servers, Server A and Server B, Server A primary, Server B secondary,
    Can Server A have a database name different than Server be, of course they are the same database, but just different name, example:
    Server A            Server B
    DB_Stuff  ----->  DB_Secondary_Stuff

    Will that be ok? or do they have to be the same name?

    Question 2:
    I have 1 server, Server A, can it have a AG group but point to itself, example:
    Server A           Server A
    DB_Stuff ----->  DB_Secondary_Stuff

    will this be ok? i know, you are asking why? just wondering, if it can point to itself as a secondary?

    thanks in advance everyone 🙂
