Wrong phone name on Device Info

My new iPhone XR is identified as my old iPhone 7 under Device Info. How do I correct this? I was able to change the name in my phone name under Settings-General, but this is a different issue.

So it turns out that the problem was caused when syncing my Apple Watch to my new phone. I never would have discovered that if I had not also experienced a problem syncing my health data between my watch and my new phone. Once I restarted my watch, everything had the correct name. It's like the old song the knee bone's connected to the head bone, LOL.
