Is there some way to "delete" one of my two iMacs?

I have two iMacs, one of which I don't use any more, but both of them have the same name, and so when I ask a question here it shows both of them and I always forget which one I should select. Is there some way to "delete" one of them so only the one I use shows up? I know that I can change the new one's name but I'd much rather delete the old one.

All the descriptive information will be there to help distinguish the two...
