Can I Define Environment Variables for a Container using replication controller for each replica?

example:

I have this replication controller :

apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: bdirest
  labels:
    component: bdirest
    role: publicapi
spec:
  replicas: 2
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        component: bdirest
        role: publicapi
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: bdirest
        image: XXX.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rest-latest:XX.XX
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        env:      
        - name: MY_RC_NAME
          value: bdirest
        - name: NAMESPACE
          valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: metadata.namespace
        - name: "JAVA_OPTIONS"
          value: "-Xmx1G -Xms256m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/bdi/dumps/jetty -Dconfig.dir.path=/bdi/conf -Dlog4j.configurationFile=/bdi/logs/rest/log4j2.properties -Djetty.logging.dir=/bdi/logs/rest -DMY_RC_NAME=$(MY_RC_NAME)"
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
          name: http

I stated that I want 2 replicas for this component, but I want to define that the first replica will have some kind of unique variable that I could use it inside the component, and the second replica will have its own unique variable.

I rather not use pods variables like "MY_POD_NAME" that I can get from "metadata.name" because I want that variable will always use the same variable and not change every time a pod is killed.

Any idea if it's possible?
