Common name of host certificate will be the server hostname. If you have more than one backend servers it is advisable to use domain certificate instead of host certificate.

 

For domain certificate, common name will be the domain name registered for your application. Since all the backend servers have the same application and same domain certificate can be used at all the backend_server applications and at F5 server side ssl profile.

 

If F5 client side is SSL port, there also you can use the same domain certificate.
