I changed my iPhone's name but it still shows the old name in iCloud

Even when I'm selecting a device for this question, it still shows the old name.

Please help me.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Changing the name on the devices themselves will cause the names to eventually sync to iCloud. On the iPhones you can change the name in Settings > General > About > Name. On the Macs, Apple menu > System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name.
