Caller ID name

When I make outgoing calls to home phone lines, the name that shows up on the caller ID is not my name. I got this phone number late October and I am thinking the name coming up is the name of the previous owner. Nobody has been able to help me. How do I fix this?

Why is my outgoing Caller ID showing the wrong name on my new iPhoneSE2022? Why is my outgoing Caller ID showing the wrong name on my new phone to other cell phones or VOIP phones? It is correct on landlines. It is showing my name from over 14 years ago before I got a divorce and changed it on the cell phones and VOIP phones. I contacted my provider and they told me the people I call have to contact their provider. That doesn't work. How do I fix this?
