I can't find it anywhere. I'm about to give up. Where is my bluetooth name that appears on somebody elses device?

Hi,

Not sure, but, i think the owner's name is assumed as the bluetooth name.

If you want to change the name of the bluetooth, afaik you must tweak within the registry.

Registry:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings]: LocalName=YourName (string)

On the other hand, if you change the owner name again, the above value will be over written
