iPhones shows same name on my mac

Found similar topics but no answers.

I have 3 iphones of different models and I have named them after model names. When I'm going to send things with airdrop between these different devices, it looks okay on iphones

But not on my MacBook, they all named the same?

Airdrop name on my Mac is wrong Hello, Just recently I've tried sending a picture to my iPhone from my Mac through Airdrop, and there was another name instead of the usual that is set up to be on my iPhone unchanged and unmodified from the very start. Tried various methods: Changed the name in the iPhone - About settings > to no avail Changed my name in the iCloud settings on iPhone > to no avail Search through my Contacts list on both devices, Mac and iPhone to see if there's such a name (...), but there isn't Restarted both Mac and iPhone > to no avail I used another iPhone with iOS 15 and that one can see the right name of my personal iPhone with iOS 16.3 in the Airdrop. On my Mac I can see other devices and their name is still the same, except of my iPhone's. Any suggestions? Devices: MacBook Pro M1 Max - macOS Ventura 13.2 iPhone 13 Pro - iOS 16.3 iPhone 7 Plus - iOS 15.7.3

Airdrop showing the same name for multiple devices. My business has had a very bizarre issue that whenever we get onto Airdrop, all the devices that populate will have the same name (It will be my name but if someone else brings it up on their side it will be their name). Additionally, on occasion my device will populate even though several of my colleagues are nearby. We are using a mix of different devices but all within the apple family. So far, I haven't found anything relating to this issue and any type of basic troubleshooting doesn't yield any different outcome. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Seems like half the post got cut.

The problem is on my MacBook, all my iPhones have the same name.
