hostname's man page says:
"Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns for the host name returned by gethostname(2).  The DNS domain name is the part after the first dot.  Therefore it depends on the configuration (usually in /etc/host.conf) how you can change it. Usually (if the hosts file is parsed before DNS or NIS) you can change it in /etc/hosts."

So I would check your /etc/hosts.
