For OS2008, under Settings->Control Panel->Bluetooth, you could enter "My device's name" if the "bluetooth on" checkbox is clicked.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for?

Edit /etc/hostname to change to the new name, say "N810" and then in /etc/hostname add the line "127.0.1.1 N810" substituting your name for N810 in both cases. To edit these files I suggest you install http://nitapps.com/dists/chinook/use....0.6_armel.deb

It assigns the Hostname N810 to an internal IP address.
