Hello Jholmes900,
It's possible this is being generated through Game Center. The steps are detailed at Use Game Center to play with friends - Apple Support:
1. Open Settings. Scroll to Game Center, then tap it.
2. If Game Center isn’t on, turn it on, then sign in with your Apple ID.*
3. Tap the Nickname field to enter a name that your friends will see when you play games together. If you can’t think of a name, you can choose one of the randomly generated suggestions.
4. To personalize the picture that shows with your nickname, tap Edit in the circle at the top of the page. From here, you can create a Memoji, use an existing one, or customize how your nickname's initials appear.
Let us know if that helps!

Hey Jholmes900,
If you've completed all the steps available on the Apple side of things, we'd suggest waiting for a response and continuing to work with the game developer from here.
Take care!
As part of my changes in settings I did update the Game Center to a nickname and changed the picture. Then I deleted the Game App and re-added it. The Game App still has the old name. I have written to the support for the Game App too and have heard nothing back. Thank you for your response.
NOTE: I still am getting my legal name when I log into the Game but it will no longer let me play the game. I have no idea what is going on.
