You don't have to edit the command line or server.cfg at all to change the host name. You can use the "hostname" convar.

[lua]
local names = {
"name1",
"name2",
"etc",
}

local delay = 600 --Change every 10 minutes

timer.Create( "changename", delay, 0, function()
RunConsoleCommand( "hostname", table.Random( names ) )
end )
[/lua]

The only downside is that the 10 minute timer will be reset at every map switch. If you REALLY wanted your maps to switch exactly every X amount of time, regardless of map switches, you could use this.

local names = {
	"name1",
	"name2",
	"etc",
}

local delay = 600 --delay in seconds.

timer.Create( "MapNameChange", 1, 0, function()
	if ( os.time() % delay ) == 0 then
		RunConsoleCommand( "hostname", table.Random( names ) )
	end
end )

NOTE: WARNING: BE AWARE:

This code is not as efficient as Greetings code, which is not as efficient as if you just used Think. However it is more reliable.
