what you could do (worked for me in ubuntu 22.10)

sudo su -

vi /var/lib/bluetooth/"YOURPC'sMACADDRS"/F8:A2:D6:F8:E7:E8/info

*remember to add a "\" before the ":" when typing the Mac Address

Add a line at the end of [General] with the alias, example:

Alias=BT-Music-Livingroom

Esc, wq, Enter to save and exit vi editor

then restart bluetooth with command:

sudo service bluetooth restart
