Hotspot name doesn't update on OSX

Hi there

After I had to reset my connection settings from my iPhone, and renamed my iPhone as it was before, I cannot see the correct name when using it as a hotspot, specifically on my Mac OSX (MacBook Retina). It uses generic name "iPhone" in the personal hotspot area (it should use my iPhone's name, as it did in the past), but show the correct name in the wi-fi network list...

It's a bit confusing... How can I get it sorted out?

Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1
