Check the name in the following places;

On the phone in Settings/general/about

And in the watch app on the phone in General/about

And on the phone contacts app tap on name to change and tap on edit in the top right corner.

Incorrect name;

On the iPhone, check the contacts app and your contact card. Make sure this has the correct name, Apple ID, and phone number

Open the Watch app on the iPhone, then go to General > About. Make sure your name is listed here

Also in General, tap on Apple ID to ensure your Apple ID is signed in.
