Apple ID name changing

I just transferred phone data from my old SE to a new iPhone 8. How do I change what my phone appears as in airdrop and find my iphone, as right now it’s still displaying “SE” from my previous phone. This is incorrect now. Thank you.

iPhone 8, iOS 13

my iphone shows a different name on my macbook and ipad Ok so I have a weird problem that arose out of nowhere. My iphone 11 pro max shows someone elses name (no idea who the person is) when I go to airdrop to it from my macbook pro or ipad. ive gone into the iphone settings and verified my name is there and deleted and changed the name then back to mine to see if that would reset something but it didnt work.
