Hey 7119J6,
If Settings > name > Find My > My Location says someone else's name, it sounds like it is sharing your location from a different device.
If you go to the Find My app, can you change your sharing device?
"To change the device that you're sharing your location from, open Find My on that device. Select the Me tab, then choose Use this [device] as My Location."
Find friends and share your location with Find My
Cheers.

Hi Mario49,
I followed those steps to rename my iPhone months ago. My actual name does show in settings, general, about however the name that shows up in Find My iPhone never went away. How do I get rid of that person’s name?
Thank you.
Hello Mario49,
I signed into iCloud.com/find on my laptop. It shows my iPhone with my name at my location but when I tap on the Find My App it still shows my ex husband’s name. When I go into settings, tap my name, then find my, my location says my ex husband’s name. Please tell me he can’t see anything on my phone.
That worked. Thank you so much.
