You can change your hostname from a terminal window. You'll need to have access to an adminisrator account. Run the following command: 

 sudo scutil --set HostName newname.local

Example sequence: 

 Macintosh:~ jai$ hostname
 Macintosh.local
 Macintosh:~ jamii$ sudo scutil --set HostName lily.local
 Password:
 Macintosh:~ jai$ hostname
 lily.local
