Two different iPhones share same name

My wife has an iPhone SE which has my name since the apple account is in my name. I have bought an iPhone 12 and on setup, it has also has my name. How can I change my wife’s phone to her name and not mine?

Wife got new iPad. I got her old iPad Mini 3. How do I change from her name to mine? When we first got it my name shows up as owner but her Apple I.D. is below my name and her password is used for Apple/iTunes connection. I would like to switch from her Apple I.D. to mine on the older iPad.

Wifes iPhone change of ownership to husband Years ago I bought an iPhone for my wife, also an iPad. Eventually, the iPhone could not be upgraded to a new IOS, so I bought her a new one and kept the old one for use as a telephone for myself. I used an HP laptop. Times change, and I needed an up to date iPhone for my own use, plus an iPad, to control my Nikon camera remotely, so I now have an up to date iPhone of my own. My wife is currently in hospital with a replacement knee, and I am trying to download an App to read French and automatically covert it into English. I need to find a way to change the registration of what is now my iPhone account to my name, so that messages regarding the purchase of an App come to me for confirmation and not to my wife.

Was sharing an Apple ID but now have two Apple devices on the new Apple ID. Getting new iPad Air & want it on my spouse’s Apple ID… I purchased my spouse’s iPad that will be replaced by a new 13” iPad Air years ago and after that got her an iPhone. I don’t recall how I setup her Apple ID but while it is clearly not my original Apple ID, her two devices show on my original Apple ID’s device list. When the new iPad Air arrives I want it and her iPhone to be solely on her Apple ID and not somehow linked to my older Apple ID device list. How can I accomplish that ?
