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. This is really weird. My wife sees me as me. the ipad is new and im the only person to have signed into it. Same goes for my macbook pro. I just bought it and set it up yesterday. I have no idea who Ray Bustos is. My name is Ruben

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13
