since the DBA refers to the systems by the database names on each I was
attempting to use the "NAME:" argument to change the display name.  
It does not seem to work unless it is on the primary or preferred line
in the bb-hosts file though.  
The "COMMENT:" option also does not seem to work in this circumstance.
I'm afraid that is "by design", so it is not something that is easily
fixed. My best suggestion is to put a COMMENT:SYBTIGR on the primary
host entry for this host, and live with the fact that is shows up as

    lemond.tigr.org (SYBTIGR)

Hobbit considers duplicate host entries in bb-hosts as mere
"placeholders", and ignores any tags placed on these. I do admit that in
cases such as the one you have it would be useful to have this
possibility, but it would take some work to implement.
