Old/New device name clash

my new device is showing up under my old device name with extension (2) I have changed the phone name in the setting, however, under apple ID it is still showing up under the old device name. Is there a way to change it?

Getting Correct Device Name to Show:

Perform a New iCloud Session:

Sign out of iCloud on it, and then sign back in. Seems it needs to sync.
