Marius,

   I'm not sure what a "proper" host name is.   I looked around for ideas.  I came up with "centos7.century.net", since centurytel is my provider.

   I changed the hostname to that and tried running the nova key-pair command, and the same http 400 error arises.

   But, I'll bet I made a rudimentary mistake like this somewhere, since I'm just learning this.  

   ...John

Giving another shot - I saw that the shell prompt shows the localhost
name. Could you try setting a proper hostname (hostname -f returns a
fqdn) and retry?
