AlwaysOn Avil Group- does each node need to have same instance name for listener to work?

This is likely a simplistic question but I'm having trouble finding explicit documentation on this:Say I have 2014 AlwaysOn setup and working:SQLNode1 ->Instance01SQLNode2 ->Instance02When I setup my listener: ListenerADo I need to use the instance name in it?ListenerA\Instance01 or ListenerA\Instance02 depending on which SQLNode is the "active" availability group?Am I better off to use the same instance name for both nodes, since my goal is to have all databases on both instances in the same availability group and sync'd? When SQLNode1 migrates over to SQLNode2 I will need to update the instance name in my connection string on the listener from ListenerA\Instance01 to \Instance02?When I connect with SSMS do I just use: ListenerA\Instance01 (or 02)?
