You can change it, it's why the field is there, the problem is that it's something different than you think. :) I'll admit that I don't know too much about it myself, for example where it's actively used. It's some identifier chosen by client and server can use it as another condition besides MAC address. And it's exactly what happened, you added something, client sent something else, condition didn't match, so client got another address.
If you just need to describe the entry, you can use comment, WebFig has it as separate field at the bottom, WinBox has it behind another button.
If you're looking for hostnames you can use on other devices, there's currently no good solution in RouterOS. It's possible to use lease script to add static DNS entries. But unless you have multiple local subnets, it's probably best to ignore it and let devices use mDNS (automatic hostnames under .local TLD).
Excessive quoting is useless and annoying. If you use it, please consider if you could do without it.
