How do I change the 'names' of my iPhones on my MacBook Pro's iTunes?

I just upgraded my iPhone 4S to a 5, and shifted my 4S to replace my wife's 3GS, which I'll sell.
The problem is that the names of the phones and telephone numbers on iTunes are the old names/numbers. I know that I could just live with it but if there's a simple way to rename them I'd like to do it.
Any suggestions?

If you mean the name that appears in the iTunes side bar - select the name of the device with the mouse - you shuld get a highlight and a text ][ and then you can change the name.

Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name. My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it. Why is that? I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

Hi,

Hi I know you did this a while ago.
Could you tell me - did you have to remove your Iphone in the manage devices section of itunes.
Then reload it? Is that difficult to do - could you talk me through it?

How do you change the name of your iPhone

Is that in a setting in the phone?
Here is my scenario. I just got a phone, it had a bad wifi antenna and a funny pixel, so Apple replaced it (thank you). Since I had only had it one day, I had only done one back up in itunes. So, I decided to start from scratch and delete the backup. When I plugged in my phone for the first time, it went through the process of first time "iphone meets itunes" set up. I notice now, I just have a name of "iphone." I thought before I actually had my name "my name's iphone." Is there any particular reason that didn't happen again? How do I modify the name of "iphone" to my name?

thanks. I starred it for you. I wonder why the first phone put my name in there and this one didn't. Everthing I did was the same.
Further:
I changed it in the itunes left column. Does that name not carry over to iTunes-Preferences-Devices??
