You can't name them that, as they're already taken.  From "whois
ns1.mydomain.com":

[No name] (NS31254-HST)

   Hostname: NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM
   Address: 216.34.13.236
   System: ? running ?

   Coordinator:
      mydomain.com support  (MS311-ORG)  support at MYDOMAIN.COM
      Global Internet Names Inc.
      588 - 12 Church St.
      Hamilton

Before you can list a server in a domain registration, you have to submit a
host registration for the server itself.  Just like the error message says.
