This is technically no gnome-bluetooth bug, but a bug in the
gnome-system-settings.
But this info here is gone if not linked to the new bug.
So if you don't mind I'll mark this here as duplicate of the new one?
Technically it would be better to assign it to the new package, but the new bug
Of course it should be possible to change. IF a default should be
chosen, it should be $HOSTNAME.
The bug still lives in 14.04.

Hi Mathieu,
With regards to changing the hostname in System Information (or through
Details in Unity Control Center) - at least on my laptop that is not
possible - the field is greyed-out and my hostname is the correct one.
Thanks to TJ's comment
Hi Mathieu,
In my latest distro, Ubuntu 13.10, there is a field for setting the
Bluetooth Friendly Name in the blueman-adapters panel. I think it
works, at least on the system I'm using now. (However, this isn't a
fresh installation, and I may have performed some work-around last
year.)
But
No, it actually means there is nothing to fix I just have missed the
updates to the bug.
It's invalid according to GNOME because there is a way to change the system
hostname via System Information in the control panel:

As expressed above,
As I understand it, although many people agree it's serious
* invalid according to GNOME Bluetooth [complain to your distribution, they
say]
* triaged according to blues (Ubuntu)
* triaged according to gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu).
Does this mean, nobody will fix this, because nobody feels
So, kind of Triaged for gnome-bluetooth, since it's pretty clear what
we're missing is some kind of hostnamed helper for the hostname, which
will also affect the bluetooth device name. See

center/+bug/962369
Also, this happens to
If you get a laptop with an OEM Ubuntu build installed (i.e. one that
asks for the configuration when you first boot), the bluetooth name
comes out as oem-0, even though the machine had been given a name
during setup. oem-0 is not a very nice name.

For me #6 works fine on Precise as well. This changes bluetooth machine
name. Thanks Whoopie.

This is hardly a wishlist item, I think. This problem affects core
bluetooth functionality and thus should be set much higher.

Also, in that upstream bug the gnome dev seems to think a Bluetooth name
must always be the same as the system's hostname.
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658154, No, and we're not
interested in supporting that.)
Ignoring for a moment the condescending attitude that is infesting Gnome
I just read your linked post... and i got really angry. What an
arrogance this dev is showing.
There must be an option to change names for: hostname, SAMBA service,
hell, even my ICQ and yes..bluetooth! Why should i ever use the same
name on multiple services? I can.. yes. I must.. NOT!

If you want to change the bluetooth device name permanently, you have to
create a file called /etc/machine-info which should have the following
content:
PRETTY_HOSTNAME=Device Name

Any progress? This is quite important imo. My name is totally random :(
This helps as workaround:
sudo hciconfig hci0 name 'Device Name'

Any news on this? Right now my my bluetooth name is
localhost.localdomain-0, which is not useful.
Also, given the rather unhelpful response by the Gnome people on wanting
bluetooth names that are different from the machine names, I do wonder
how machines with multiple bluetooth adapters are going
