Verifying on RHEL75 with following build:
=======================================
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-gui-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-rhsm-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-initial-setup-addon-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-plugin-container-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64

1) Verifying the system's hostname is used to report "The registered system name"

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# hostname --fqdn
dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com


[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager register 
Registering to: F21-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
Username: admin
Password: 
Organization: admin
The system has been registered with ID: 5cec7b0d-ba5d-4b9e-9cf9-4e9924f2a6f2
The registered system name is: dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

^^ observed that hostname matches "the registered system name "

2) Verifying that even with overrid'ed hostname facts value, subscription-manager register continues to use the system hostname 


[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# cat /etc/rhsm/facts/hostname.facts
{"network.hostname":"testing-an-overridden-hostname-fact.redhat.com"}

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep hostname
network.hostname: testing-an-overridden-hostname-fact.redhat.com

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# hostname
dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=admin --org=admin
Registering to: F21-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
The system has been registered with ID: 5966712c-c04d-4df0-8a66-59825d0d502f
The registered system name is: dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

^^ observed that hostname continues to match "the registered system name "

3)Verify that when "--name" value given during registration , the provided name will be written to the terminal instead of hostname

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=admin --org=admin --name=Verify1463325
Registering to: F21-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
The system has been registered with ID: 170f57d9-855c-4d78-bd00-f683bc8f6e7c
The registered system name is: Verify1463325 --> matches the value provided in the register command 

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# hostname
dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

Based on the above observations , marking the bug as "Verified"
