Having created one group with alt characters and one without, go without. Even though it looks cool to have the same name, it makes anything else harder than it needs to be.

I went with shamm shami shamn shamy, so your first option looks the best to me.
Can you give some examples as to why?
Creating macros.

Remembering which character is which if you don't log them in exactly the same way every time.

Sending mail from your other characters when you get different professions on the boxers.

If you change anything in your UI settings or mods that makes characters not perfectly clear it can be hard to see who is who.

Being able to click on a character without having to study the name.

As they find specific roles you have to double check to make sure you have the right things going to the right characters.

Trading quest items for unfinished collection quests on a character.

Just to pull a few off the top of my head... It's really just making things harder than it should be. Personally I am tempted to report all of my characters for a name change.
