Although you've already got some answers with payload/cloudinit idea, I
can point at another solution I've used myself:

Use a vdsm-hook to write vmname into some bios field, then one-time
init-script inside template to configure your vm as you need.

Another option would be to write a custom script which is started

boot and disables itself after successful run (in the same way as
firstboot - I already have such a script for RHN Satellite/Spacewalk
joins). The problem here is: How do I get the (oVirt) name of this vm
(would need something like virt-whoami:) )? Is the (internal oVirt) ID
of this vm stored somewhere in the filesystem of this vm? I don't think
so....
