Hello DickP3,


Thanks for reaching out for help.


Does this only occur with a specific recipient that you are messaging? If so, we would recommend having them check their device to see how your contact information is saved. How your information is saved on their device will determine what they see when you send them a message.


For more help with Messages, see the following: Use Messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Hope this helps.


Cheers.
