You can override it just as easily as with any defvar:

(require 'server)
(setq server-socket-dir "/path/to/dir")
(setq server-name "myserver")
(server-start)

$ emacsclient -c -s /path/to/dir/myserver


You can also use:

$ emacs --daemon=myserver

To start a server with 'server-name' set to 'myserver'; and then:

$ emacsclient -c -s myserver
