Q: Multiple iPhone Names
I have two iPhones, my 5S which I use everyday and my old 4 that I just want to use for iTunes. Is there a way to change the name of each phone so as to distinguish them when syncing. Right now on my iTunes account they're both registered as "[my name]'s iPhone." I know I can change the name on the phone itself through Settings > General > About > Name. My concern is that when I go to sync them, iTunes will not recognize the new names. Thanks for any responses.
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

Using your computer
1. Connect your device and open iTunes.
2. Click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.) If you don't see your device, choose Hide Sidebar from the View menu.
3. Next to the picture of your device, double-click the name of your device.
4. Type the new name for your device and press Return on the keyboard.
5. Sync the device (press Sync in the bottom right corner of the screen).
Thanks,
Matt M.
