Apple Watch activity wrong name

My Apple Watch name is set to my name in the watch settings but whenever I complete an activity or anything it calls me my mums name. Is there somewhere you can change the name for the activity app?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

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

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

3.In the same screen (General > About), tap on Apple ID to ensure your Apple ID is signed in.
