Time Machine migration: rMBP now called MBA

hi there

week ago, sold old macbook air. saved data in time machine backup on external drive , migrated hour ago onto new rmbp. worked flawlessly , i'm pleased, however, new rmbp has same name old mba: julias macbook air.

doesn't cause harm, it's not quite right either since new computer isn't air. how can rename new rmbp "julias macbook pro?" right-click onto macbook icon in finder doesn't show "rename" option, alas.
