Find My Device Lists My MacBook As Someone Else's

I have a MacBook M2 (2023) running Sonoma 14.5 and while setting the "Find My Device" to turn it on, it lists as another user's whom I have set up an account on this laptop. It shows as "Their Device". Is there a way to correct this?

Apple Support's online article: Change your computer’s name or local hostname on Mac - Apple Support

says:

"Change your computer’s name

You can view and change your computer’s name in the About settings window.

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General in the sidebar, then click About on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Type a new name in the Name field."
