Please note that you have to remove the udev rule for networking, otherwise MAC address will be hardcoded and VM on power on will have an old MAC address for the network card that no longer exists. End result will be no network connectivity.
As for DHCP hostname, it usually picks up the hostname by default provided by dhcp client. Make sure the hostname is not force set to "localhost" in your configs.
