mail showing correct sender address but wrong namw

I have multiple GMAIL accounts in my Mac Mail on my laptop. (Mojave 10.14.5, MacBook Pro) Here's what's happening:

1. 1. I have an account "Mothra", Description "Big Bug", Email "Mothra <*****1>Send email from account "Mothra" to account "Gamera".
2. I have another account "Gamera", Description "Big Turtle", Email "Gamera <*****2>"
3. My real name is "Captain Marvel"
4. I compose an email to Gamera and send it from the Mothra account
5. The email shows up in Gamera's account with sender "Captain Marvel *****1"
6. I don't want everyone knowing that Captain Marvel is Mothra. How can I change the name associated with the Mothra email account to Mothra?

Resolved with the help of Apple phone support. The problem was that Contacts/All Contacts/My Name, I had all the problematic email address listed as email addresses for that name. All I did was edit my own contact name to delete ALL email address entries, restarted Mail, and immediately all the Gmail accounts began showing as being sent to/received from the correct name for that address.

Just to be clear ... I have other email accounts in Google Suites but with addresses like "mothra@bigbug.org" and "gamera@bigbug.org" and these work just fine. When I send from any of them the correct sender name is displayed.
