Windows 10: Tried to rename PC, now it has two names and can't be renamed again

Hey, so since there are some people on my work network that I didn't want to see my pc, I tried to change it's name so they wouldn't know its me. I clicked on rename this PC in the About section of the normal windows 10 settings, and then I shut it down just to restart it later. Now however, there are two names listed under Device name and I can't click on Rename this PC again, since it's greyed out. Also, for other networks the first name still shows. I'm honestly clueless and I think this might be a bug. Thanks in advance for any help! :[moved from de-de]

Renaming PC

Did the steps to rename my pc but when I restarted the computer it didn't change on my screen.

Went back in to re-do it but it was showing the new name. So, I restarted again to see if it would change on my log in screen and it didn't. Old name shows when waking the pc to log in but new name is listed when I go to About PC. What am I doing wrong?
