[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Design question: Why use @Name on Entities?

Simple question: I'm using EntityHome objects to manage a bunch of entities. Therefore I have FooHome to manage Foos, etc. Of course FooHome has to have a @Name annotation: @Name("fooHome") for it to be a Seam component. I can do all my stuff to Foos using fooHome.instance. And if I want to refer to "foo" by itself I can do that by adding an alias in components.xml. So... at that point, is there any reason for me to put a @Name annotation on the Foo entity itself?
