Your iPhone and iPad names are set respectively on each device - here:

Settings > General > About > Name - set the name that you would like to use


When viewing your devices that are signed-in to iCloud, each device should appear using the name that you have configured in your iCloud device list:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] - scroll to the bottom of list to see your signed-in devices
