Are you and your sharing an Apple ID? If so, this is normal behavior and cannot be changed. Apple IDs are not meant to be shared. If not then Lon your iPhone, tap on:

Watch > My Watch > General > About > Name

and change the name there. Also on your iPhone, tap on:

Settings > [Your Name] > Name. Phone Numbers, Email

and change your name under NAME.
