NEW AirPods 4 already named?

I have a busy schedule for Christmas this year and tonight (Christmas Eve) I opened the gifts from my dad and he bought me a new pair of air pod 4s w/ noise cancellation. Only problem is that the AirPods are named “Mothers AirPods” which leads me to believe Apple is reselling refurbished AirPods as new, which is false advertising considering my dad bought them as “new”. My dad even ordered them from Apple.com so they were definitely intended to be new and the box was fully sealed and there was no wear and tear on the AirPods either, so they weren’t resold.

That being said does anyone know if Apple is in fact selling refurbished AirPods as new AirPods, or what else it could be because my dad isn’t cheap at all so he definitely didn’t buy me fake AirPods, or used AirPods that were somehow perfectly repackaged.
