Hi Peter, I am unavailable for WAMUG for a few weeks.
To change the computer name on your son's MBP Go to System Preferences > sharing - Computer Name: You need to setup iCloud & Turn on Find My iPhone on each of your iOS Devices and Mac computers. And setup each device with the same iCloud account. Then Sign In to iCloud -icloud.com - select Find My iPhone - click All Devices.
