In AMQP you can use an empty queue name to connect to the last created queue -
if you're not creating any other queues in the meantime that will help.

Otherwise you can simply get the queue name and have an option to connect to an
already declared queue, and manually provide that name.

Or...

If you can give a name to a queue, I'd do it.  Dynamic queue are generally used
for disposable queue (e.g. queue with auto_delete).  Not having to think about
the name has its advantages, but can get annoying, as you experienced.
