They say it's best practice to name a SQL instance even it's the only instance on the host server. My question is, are there any security risks if I give the SQL instance the same name as the server? Or should I just leave it as the default instance?

I have not heard that one. Can you share a reference to the claim that it is a best practice?

I guess I am confused by that...
All instances installed have to have a name - whether it is the default instance or a named instance. The default instance has a name - which is MSSQLSERVER. All named instances are just that - named....
Referencing a default instance can be done using either the server name or the IP address, whereas referencing a named instance must be done using the server name\instance name or IP:port.
