My question is, can both the airports share the same hostname of name.local?

No. That name corresponds to the Bonjour, or multicast DNS name for the device - it needs to resolve to a unique IP.
If you are looking to name your Airport end-points (so the names that show up in the Airplay selection list), that setting is under the Airplay section in the Airport Utility - each device can have a unique Airplay name in addition to the device name.
