Is there an /etc/cloud directory, or perhaps /etc/netplan? The 
cloud-config and netplan utilities often (over)write configuration 
files at boot time.

Or, of course, NetworkManager might be involved. Its configs are 
usually in /etc/NetworkManager.

I would do something like 'grep -lr raspberrypi2 /etc /var' to find 
files that mention that hostname. One of them is likely the culprit.
