New iPhone has wrong name

Got our first iPhone for Susan, my wife. Set it up with our shared Apple ID, which I established long ago. Now, I just got a message that my ID was used to log onto "Robert's iPhone"!!! Can I get the Apple iCloud ecosystem to call that iPhone "Susan's iPhone"???

On your device, tap Settings > General > About. Tap the first line, which displays the name of your device, and type in the new name for the phone.
