Q: itunes device name is different to same device name on find my iphone

I have a device on itunes which is named correctly.But when I look it up on "Find My Iphone" the device has a different name.To make matters more confusing it has the same name as another device owned by my daughter.How do I get the device name on "Find My Iphone" to match the device name on itunes?

 

Many thanks. 

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.5

    Check Settings>General>About>Name on your phone.  That is the name that should be identified in Find My iPhone when you sign into your account on icloud.com.  If it's wrong, try turn off Find My iPhone on your device, then turn it back on after a few seconds.
