Wildcard SSL common name - can it be called anything?

$

I was just wondering if a wildcard SSL certificate necessarily needs to have a common name that contains the domain name of the sites that need the SSL certificate applied to.

For example, for the following:

Domain name: testdomain.com

Subsites:

  • www.testdomain.com
  • mobile.testdomain.com
  • mytestenvironment.testdomain.com

Do I necessarily need my wildcard certificate to have a common name of *.testdomain.com?
