=====Fedora 25, BlueZ 5.44 - change Bluetooth name=====
This one took some time to figure out. It seems ''bluetoothd'' does not use the ''DisablePlugin='' setting in ''/etc/bluetooth/main.conf''. To change the bluetooth name, follow the next steps.

  * Change the ''Name'' and other settings as you wish in ''/etc/bluetooth/main.conf''.
  * Create a new environment file ''/etc/sysconfig/bluetoothd'' and add options. The noplugin option lets you disable the hostname plugin. That plugin will reset the bluetooth name to the hostname regardless of the configured ''Name''.<code>
OPTIONS=--noplugin=hostname
</code>
  * Edit the bluetooth service and add the lines below. It will create an ''override.conf'' file for the service:<code>systemctl edit bluetooth

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/bluetoothd
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd ${OPTIONS}
</code>
  * Reload the systemd config:<code>systemctl daemon-reload</code>
  * Restart the bluetooth service:<code>systemctl restart bluetooth</code>
  * The daemon should be running with the options you've configured:<code>pgrep -a bluetooth
5494 /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=hostname
</code>
  * Test with: <code>bt-adapter -i</code>
