Similar device names make "Send to Device" on Android unable to differentiate devices

Similar names for Connected Services make "Send to Device" on Android unable to differentiate devices. The workaround is to "send to all devices". I can change my device names but I don't know how to change the Connected Service name. Here are some:

  • * * geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-q551ln-ASUS-Laptop
  • * * Gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-SM
  • * * Firefox on asus ASUS_AI2202
  • * * Geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-iMac
  • * * Firefox on samsung SM-G781V
  • * * gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-LT-SM
  • * * Firefox on SM-G960U1 Santa Maria, CA, United States

How can we improve this? Abbreviate Firefox to "Ff"? Use an in-line Firefox glyph? Also, I have a dualboot and run Lubuntu and Windows from the same device. I wonder how I can handle the device name to differentiate which OS I'm logged into.
