The client-supplied "host-name" parameter won't do it. Instead, you
need to configure the client to send a textual "dhcp-client-identifier",
and the server will use that (instead of its MAC address) to identify
it.
That is, on the DHCP client side, you want:
send dhcp-client-identifier "myhost";
and on the DHCP server side, you want:
host myhost {
option dhcp-client-identifier "myhost";
fixed-address 192.168.1.7;
}
I haven't tested it myself, but that should work. Search for
"dhcp-client-identifier" in the dhcpd.conf(5) manpage for more
information. The following shows another example someone got to
work:

He also included a "send host-name" tag in the client configuration,
though I don't think that's necessary.
