So, is there any way for me to provide my own personal alias for this name so I can (for example) say "ssh -l username home" where 'home' will be expanded to the full host name?

Have you considered using a Dynamic DNS service - www.dyndns.org provide free sub-domain URLs for static IP addresses as well as dynamic ones e.g. yourname.dyndns.org
