How can I rename a device in my account?
MacBook Pro 15″
You can change the name from the device itself.
Taking your MacBook Pro as an example, go to:
System Preferences > Sharing
Then you can enter a different name in the box against the label: Computer Name
*This may be slightly different in Ventura, which I don't have.
In iOS you can use: Settings > General > Name
and enter a new name in a similar box.
Edit: Pizzalava2 above has provided a link for a document to change a Mac's name in Ventura. For Monterey or earlier you can view the previous version of this document here.
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > General > About and tap on the Name section to rename your device.
For Mac: Change your computer’s name or local hostname on Mac - Apple Support
