Even easier is dnsmasq.  It has both DHCP and some DNS.  It is very easy
to set up and very useful for small and, probably medium, networks.  It
will allow hosts on the LAN to get specific names if the hosts identify
themselves with the same MAC address each time.  Many routers have it
built-in like openwrt, lede, and dd-wrt

For the remote routers, it's still a matter of either choosing a dynamic
DNS service (which is also commonly supported by routers) or else taking
advantage of the one static IP and having the others phone home in some
way, shape, or form.
