The “host” is just your friendly name for the connection, not necessarily the hostname of the remote host. You can specify the same username or hostname as many times as you want. My config is made up of mostly blocks like this:

Host server1
    HostName server1.you.com
    User your_ssh_username
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/yourprivatekey.pem
  
Host server2
    HostName server2.you.com
    User your_ssh_username
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/yourprivatekey.pem
