Sometimes when I open itunes it will change my computer name.

Question

I've been having a problem with my computer changing names on its own. It will change from "name" to "name"(2) and so on. I found a thread that said it might be a Bonjour issue so I toggled bonjour in the following way
To turn Bonjour off:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
To turn it back on:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
This didn't help with my issue. now I've notice that it will sometimes rename itself once I open iTunes or wake it from sleep. any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I got an error telling me iTunes couldn't find my iPhone so I quite iTunes and restarted the application. I was then prompted with the computer name change message. I turned off iTunes sharing, but I'm still having the issue. I think the issue is most likely iTunes and/or something with syncing my phone. My Mac Mini is also showing up on itself as a shared computer??
