Very strange. As soon as I turned Network Manager back on the machine
name changed back to localhost. 

I found some people mention there was a way to tell it not to
modify /etc/hosts. 

I ended up modifying /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp and changed:
DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="no"
WRITE_HOSTNAME_TO_HOSTS="no"

It's weird that DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTIONAL is set to the correct
hostname. 

For the moment it's working correctly now, even after reboot. 

Thanks,
James
