Good thing I always change the name of my devices.
Apple's default naming is a privacy error. One time I was on a first date with someone in law enforcement. Being a woman alone and obviously interested in protecting herself, she'd done a background check on me and had informed several fellow community members of our whereabouts.
I, on the other hand, didn't know her last name. We joked about that. When we got in her car after dinner, the intrigue was up when her dashboard display showed that it auto-paired with her iPhone... which was named with her first and last name. I didn't point this out, and challenged her to figure out how I knew her name by the time the drive was over.

Guess what, the hardest thing is to remind myself to clear my profile before returning the car...
