My guess is that the old name is still somewhere in the X "." dot files in your home directory e.g.
Code:
$ hexdump -C .serverauth.19562                                 
00000000  01 00 00 11 68 65 72 63  75 6c 65 73 2e 75 74 70  |....hercules.utp|
00000010  2e 78 6e 65 74 00 01 30  00 12 4d 49 54 2d 4d 41  |.xnet..0..MIT-MA|
00000020  47 49 43 2d 43 4f 4f 4b  49 45 2d 31 00 10 08 76  |GIC-COOKIE-1...v|

Here you see my hostname hercules.utp.xnet.

Have you tried to reboot your system? That way the hostname will be set from the /etc/myname file.
