Name Change

Question

Name Change

After changing my name due to marriage, I updated this in my iCloud account too.

However when I send emails from my iCloud these still send from my maiden name. How can I change this?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Hi,

I have already done this back in September, and to some extent it has worked.

However when I send an email from my iCloud email address using the Mail app, when the receiver receives the mail it shows as ‘First name Maiden name’ NOT ‘First name Married name’. My iCloud account is definitely my married name now too.

You’ll have to do this from https://applied.apple.com.
