Where do the names "model1" and "model2" get created?  (I'm not familiar
with Django and I don't see where these names come from.)

In similar situations, what I've done in the past is made the forms use
HTML variable names such as "model1.name" and "model2.name".  I don't
know how that plays with Django and what kind of parsing you'd need to
add (if any).
