my phone shows the wrong name when someone airdrops to me

I just got a new iPhone 13 Pro Max and noticed something very odd. When I airdrop from my Mac to my phone, it doesn't show my phone's name. My phones name is "Jeff's Phone". for some odd reason it shows up as "Joshy's phone", which is my nephew's name. I changed his contact card from "Joshy" to "Josh", and the name on the airdrop screen also changes.


I have the phone name set to "Jeff's Phone" in Settings->General->About->Name.


What's really oss is that if I Airdrop from my Phone to my Mac, it says it's coming from Jeff's phone. But when I drop from my Mac to the phone, the only phone that shows up is "Josh's Phone". And if I drop to that, it does indeed show up on my phone.


Anyone else experience this?
