ESP8266 Arduino Host Name (MDNS)

Question

I am having problems with the host name of my ESP8266. I am using MDNSResponder and I can successfully access my device using mydevice.local

However, my WiFi router (Netgear WGR614) lists the device as ESP_FEA38A. When I use the "Angry IP Scanner" on my mac, there is no host name in the list. Both the ip scanner and the WiFi router recognize several raspberries and other devices such as Express Express.

Does anyone know what other host naming mechanisms are used, and how can I get my ESP8266 to get a list with the host name?
