How to set the VM image name?

Currently the Azure Image Builder creates a random name consisting of 15 elements, e.g.: 3df452d3sr8fg67. The question is whether this could be overwritten and an image name could be set.

What's the advantage of this? The VM it creates to conduct the customisations is temporary and gets deleted once completed.

At the company a naming policy was enabled that enforces that the vm name should have a certain suffix. For now they removed the policy, but we wonder whether it would be possible to set a VM name to ensure that the naming policy can be enabled.
