Did you post twice on purpose?  If so, please don't it clutters things
up and it reflects poorly to post the same thing twice in so short a
time.

Assuming that you are using dhcpcd as your dhcp client then you want to specify
the "-H" option.  That will tell the dhcp client to set your hostname to
whatever the dhcp server says.  I do not think that there is a way to
tell the dhcp server what hostname you want, so with the -H option, you
will get different hostnames each time you lose your dhcp lease.
