Same user profile picture across all devices

This did not used to be the case but now when I update my iCloud profile picture it updates across every device I have logged into that same account. This creates a major issue because when I go to use airdrop I honestly can't tell which device is which. I have 3 iMacs, 3 iPhones & 2 iPads so you can see why this can get a bit confusing.

I am aware that is not a new complaint and that they have made this feature work this way (I have sent in a feature request using the form) but I am wondering if anyone else has found a work around to solve it? All the posts I am coming cross are old and don't have any solutions.

FWIW, changing the name of a device is not reflected in AirDrop. Just to add, can you reduce the size of your image posts? They don't need to be that large.
