It doesn't make it up, you do.  For example, I have

  compinit -u -d ~/.zcompdump_${ZSH_VERSION}_$USER

So if you decide you want to delete the name you use, it's up to
you.

"You" may in fact be compinstall, but I think it prompts you for the
file name; I don't see any way for it to come up with one automatically.
