This is a common annoyance when using Wi-Fi for me. To fix it once and for all, you can do this on Terminal:

Code: 
sudo scutil --set HostName your_new_host_name

Replace your_new_host_name with the name you want to use, without spaces or special characters other than _ - . For example "my.macbook" is okay.
