When I send text messages, it come up my name and “My number” (written just like that). Even when I change it in settings/messages, it still comes up to the recipient
I only want it to have my first name, last initial.

Hi there Silvoyk,
You'll want to be sure you add the name you want others to see in the Contacts app with the steps below:
1. Open the Contacts app.
2. Tap My Card at the top, then tap Contact Photo & Poster.
3. (Optionally) Tap Name, then enter your first and last name as you want it to appear to others, then tap Edit to pick a poster or create a new one.
