I think the goal is to identify the environments by name, and whether
that's by adding a suffix or a prefix doesn't really matter. So I
believe we should emphasize on "name" and not on "suffix".
I wanted to use --name first, but it doesn't explain why we would use -p
for the short option instead of -n (which is already taken by --dry-run).
WDYT?

These are great suggestions! I will adapt it when we agree
upon the long option name :).
Thanks!
Kind regards,
