Q: Terminal using wrong computer name

I'm using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), running Yosemite 10.10.1, and having a really strange issue with terminal. Occasionally when I open Terminal, it tells me I'm logged into bash on a different device. For example, I'm looking at my terminal now, and instead of saying:

Nathan's-Macbook-Pro:~ Nathan$

it says

davids-iPhone:~ Nathan$

I have no idea who david is or where his iPhone is. My only guess is it has something to do with being on open university wifi, but I still don't see why bash would display anything but my own device. Help?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
