How do I change the name my device on my iPhone

I am under "Managing Your Account" and when I scroll down to Devices, my ex boyfriends name is on the device instead of mine. The device is correct but the name is not. I don't know where to go to edit that. Any suggestions?

iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.1

I just set up my new iPhone X and I have the same problem. In setting went to General, About, Name and named it Andy's iPhone X. In Apple ID the listed devices name does not reflect the name of my new iPhone X. Instead it is listed as Andy's iPhone 5s (previous phone) with iPhone x underneath the title. Therefore I have two devices labeled iPhone 5s? Suggestions?
