Why do my AirPods have a weird name?
The reason why your AirPods have a strange name may be due to a few different factors. First, when you initially set up your AirPods, they may have been given a default name based on your account information or the device’s model name. You can change the name of your AirPods by going to the Bluetooth settings on your iPhone or iPad and tapping on the "i" icon next to your AirPods.
Another reason why your AirPods may have a strange name is if they were previously paired with another device and not reset before pairing with your current device. In that case, the previous owner’s name or nickname may be still associated with the AirPods. You can reset your AirPods by placing them in their case and holding down the button until the LED light flashes amber.
Finally, sometimes AirPods may have a strange name due to a glitch or software issue on either your device or the AirPods themselves. If this is the case, you can try resetting your AirPods and your device’s Bluetooth connection, or contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Without an iOS device, the AirPods will have their default name, which is "AirPods".
