Changing Ipod Name

Hi all,
I bought a fifth gen nano for my son for christmass. While setting it up I used my details from my account, now it has been tagged as "mark yeomans ipod". Is there a way I can change the name??

Thanks
Mark

Just connect the device to your computer, and wait for the SYNC to finish.

Once finalized
Click the iPod
Click it Again so that the Text editor appears
Rename your device
Click away
Your device will be renamed
Run a SYNC again
Verify on your iPod
Confirm by Ejecting and reconnecting

I've done this a number of times. Such as with my first classic, and then on the aquisition of my second, I wanted to label them... So I edited my first to read "My Silver iPod Classic"

Quick, easy and painless... Just not obvious!

Good luck and happy holidays!
