... with a little bit of cargo cult possibly rolled in.  Anywhere, here's the stuff I put into a VagrantFile (for Vagrant v2.x) to get boxes to be named properly both for hostname and for the name that appears in the Virtualbox GUI:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config| # Any other Vagrant 2.x config settings you want here config.vm.define '__YOUR_BOX_NAME_HERE__' # Any other Vagrant 2.x config settings you want here config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| # Any of your other virtualbox modifications vb.name = "__YOUR_BOX_NAME_HERE__" # Any other virtualbox modifications here end # Any other Vagrant 2.x config settings you want here config.vm.hostname = "__YOUR_BOX_NAME_HERE__" # Any other Vagrant 2.x config settings you want here

Replace __YOUR_BOX_NAME_HERE__ with whatever you want to name the box. Also note that the stuff inside config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| might/will be different for other providers than virtualbox.
