Question about a dot in hostname

I'm having an issue with the following

Host.name.domain.com where host.name is the hostname of the system

I'm running bind 9.3.2 on debian 3.1, the zone loads and serves up the
address, but when I do a zone xfer 
The .name is removed and all I get is the "host" part

I've tried doing a cname like this

Host	IN A xx.xx.xx.xx
Host.name IN CNAME host

But the .name gets stripped from that as well.

What are my options to make this work?

Thanks

Brian
