As a matter of interest, what happens if in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
you write ifcfg-enp2s0, say, as
  DEVICE=eth1
  TYPE=Ethernet
  ...
? I did this by mistake and the interface seemed to be called eth1,
in some places at least.
I changed it when I saw my mistake, so I don't know how 
it would have worked.
(I'm running the network service on my server, not NM.)
