Yes you are free to use whatever service name you wish.

_cdt._tcp would be fine - I recommend you check the list of already  
'registered' services at dns-sd.org:
http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html

This is not really authorative, but it's the most authorative..


Try to be considerate and don't use what might be a common/confusing  
name or acronym.
