You could possibly do something clever with nmap or "ping -b",
but your approach is simple and effective.

Why not just do DNS lookups to see which ones are assigned?
To build on what Cameron mentioned, just put in "host $i" in the loop
and check to see it returns anything sane. If so, you might want to
ping it to see if it's up, but as Cameron said, the system could be down
or off so that's not 100% reliable.

If you have nmap installed you can use that to do the job. From the nmap
man page...
$ nmap -v -sP 192.168.0.0/16

To make matters worse, a system may be up but firewalls may block pings.

The command 'host' will look up an ip address and return the associated
hostname (if there is one).
The manpage should help.

If the host is not defined in dns, you won't get a translation of the
ip address to hostname.
Just compare the output of these commands:
'host 192.168.63.247'
'host 192.168.63.249'
Kind regards,
