How to assign a name to ESP8266 module?

[akd.jls]

I am looking to assign a name to my ESP8266 module. I would like to access it using the name, not the IP address in Station mode. Any suggestion how to do it?
I am using native code and AT commands. I assigned a fixed IP in my WIFI AP for the ESP8266 module. But don’t know how to give a name to it. I am able to access the module with IP address. But need to access with an assigned name.

please use API: wifi_station_set_hostname()

This feature should also be added to AT commands version.

Hi, I am trying to change the name of my esp8266 station, I have WROOM-02 module. The program compiles, but return value of wifi_station_set_hostname("customname"); is 0(FALSE). I read the name with get_hostname and print it an it is blank.
Can you please help me?
Tell me if you need more information, I am using the newest SDK from Espressif website, newest flash download tool and compiling in ubuntu virtual machine as the documentation recomends. I modified the AT firmware, also the latest version.

Thanks!
