Hello Tonnie1234,
Thanks for asking about your iPhone showing up as a network.
If your iPhone has the Hotspot enabled, maybe your husband connected before, which is why it's showing. How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
"Set up Personal Hotspot
- Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal Hotspot.
- Tap the slider next to Allow Others to Join.
If you don't see the option for Personal Hotspot, contact your carrier to make sure that you can use Personal Hotspot with your plan."
If this is off currently, turn it on, then restart your device: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Then, go back in and turn it off again.
Thanks.
