Looks like your DHCP server returns no proper hostname ...
Mine has
...; option host-name "xyz"; ...
and together with the option domain-name setting, assigning a proper hostname
is no issue at all...

Don't fix what isn't broken... in worst cases, it *might* make sense to
convert the dotted ip notation into something like dhcp-192-168-100-250
though (if first character of $HOSTNAME is a digit, parse out the numeric
part and tr '.' '-' ... two lines of perl)
