Computer name change and Network name

Recently I changed my computer name from "XY Z's Computer" to one without the dreaded apostrophe and the spaces.
I did this in Sharing under Computer Name:

However, after doing this and rebooting, the new name is there - good - but if in Sharing Preferences, I click Internet Sharing and then click Airport Options, my original name is there, under the title, Network name:

Is there a single location where these changes can be made simultaneously?
Are there any other places where one might find the original computer name?
Is this a bug or simply something not well-documented that I should have known about?

MacBookPro3,1-17"Core2Duo/VistaUlt64SP1; MacBookPro1,1-15"/XPProSP3; Dual G5/XPP, Mac OS X (10.5.5), Homebrew 3GHz ASUS PC, Dell Inspiron8k, Abacus, Sliderule, HP-50G
