Photos calling me the wrong name

My name is Anna. In the photos app, I am correctly labelled as Anna and have linked photos of myself to my contact card, which is called Anna. Yet all memory videos auto-created in the photos app that contain me, call me Hannah. E.g. meals with Hannah over the years - and it’s all pictures of me. I have not once entered my name as Hannah, not even as a joke, I don’t have any contacts in my phone called Hannah, I don’t know anyone called Hannah. What is this trickery?!

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

Name shown by Photos on top of the People Album is not necessarily the name it has stored internally. It likes to show a short name or a nickname. To beside to see the full name in Photos you may want to change the Settings > Contacts > Short Name and disable the use of a Short name and the Nickname.

Then restart the iPhone and enter your name again for your People album, enter it in full.

Now wait for memories about Anna, not Hannah.
