I keep a spare box around with non-default LVM names, actually using
direct partitions, for precisely this reason. It's particularly
important if for virtualization servers when you've got a stack of
virtual images and their LVM names conflict with that of your host
server.
It's also another reason it's handy to be able to boot with a live CD.
