html-name-anchor is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘sgml-mode.el’.

That's great except these days
<a name="X"></a>
is obsolete. One should write
<a id="X"></a>.

(But bummer,
C-c C-c i runs the command html-image (found in mhtml-mode-map), which
is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘sgml-mode.el’.
So one cannot just make C-c C-c n now C-c C-c i.)

It's obsolete in HTML5, but it's still commonly understood.  I'm not
sure what we should do in these instances.

Yeah, that's also a problem.

A good mnemonic key for HTML id would be C-c C-c #

That's a good mnemonic, so I've now added it (and the <a id...>
skeleton).
