Change the name on the device listed in my iCloud

My desktop mac is listed in my iCloud as one of my devices but it has the name of my daughter's laptop. I don't know how that happened. How can I change it to my name as it's my computer; plus I would like to name the two iPhones I have listed so I can distinguish mine and my husband's at a glance. Is this doable?

Thanks

Changing the name on the devices themselves will cause the names to eventually sync to iCloud. On the iPhones you can change the name in Settings > General > About > Name. On the Macs, Apple menu > System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name.
