vzctl's --name flag is just for vzctl so you can use a name rather than the ctid... just like hostnames are generally friendlier than IP addresses. It is really just a symlink in /etc/vz/names/ that points to the config. To the best of my knowledge, only vzctl allows you to use it... whereas, for example, vzmigrate does not.
The --hostname flag is for setting the hostname of the container. Where the value gets written into the container is distro specific. For example, in Red Hat / Fedora OS Templates, the value gets written to /etc/sysconfig/network. Other distros might expect it to be elsewhere.
The man page for vzctl is a little lean in the descriptions for --name and --hostname but I think it is clear enough.
TYL,
