You may be able to. Check the ESP documentation. I have a board that identified it self as something like ROBOBOT instead ESPxxx.

Just looking thru the documentation sites the below code snippets might be used in your code to change the WiFi.hostname that would be seen on a network. It might be used such that the esp8266 would be identified as robot1, robot2, or similar to make individual identification easier. This may have been in some example code I ran that appeared to have a different ID than ESPxxx.

You can use
WiFi.hostname(myHostname);
WiFi.begin ( ssid, password );


or use the SDK function directly (see CallSDKFunctions.ino):
// Expose Espressif SDK functionality - wrapped in ifdef so that it still
// compiles on other platforms
#ifdef ESP8266
extern "C" {
  #include "user_interface.h"
}
#endif
...

#ifdef ESP8266
  wifi_station_set_hostname(myHostname);
#endif
