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.
