Changing Blutooth Laptop Name (self.linuxmint)

When I connect my Bluetooth headphones to my laptop it says: "Connecting to HP-laptop-14-xxx". It's kind of annoying. I set my hostname to "Laptop" but nothing changed.

Defaults to 'BlueZ X.YZ', if Name is not set here and plugin 'hostname' is not loaded.

The plugin 'hostname' is loaded by default and overides the Name set here so

consider modifying /etc/machine-info with variable PRETTY_HOSTNAME= instead.
