You don't need to M-x server-start, but you do need to load server.el
before you can use set-variable on that var.
So either do
M-x load-library RET server RET
M-x set-variable RET server-name RET "foo" RET
M-x server-mode RET
or do
M-: (setq server-name "foo") RET
M-x server-mode RET
I prefer this latter one, personally.

I can only say that it works for me.
