Not to point our the obvious, but...
Yes, you can revoke your certificat and use the proper Common Name when
you generate your CSR. (The common name in the certificate signing
request, has to be the host part of the DNS name of the site you're
trying to use ssl on.)

With the command line tool you cannot avoid this without using -k, as
when I added the option I thought that you mostly _either_ want to
verify the cert or you don't. Of course I could very well agree on
adding an option that would allow this.

In libcurl land however, you have the option to verify the cert part and
skip the host name vs CN checking part. Disable CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
and no CN or other checks will be used against the host name.
