SSL - self signed certificate with wildcard

I have created a certificate with CN: *.hostname

Chome & IE are complaining about this certificate when i'm navigating to dev.hostname or tst.hostname:

Error in Chrome: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Yes, I have added the certificate in my trusted root CA...

Should i add a domain like .local or similar?

I think most browsers don't allow wildcard at the second level, because usually a single entity does not own a top level domain. So you need to have something like *.foo.local instead of *.foo.
