My Airdrop showing daughter’s name!

Please help! My phone card/name is my name/Apple ID and always has been. Today my son told me that my name on Airdrops shows as his sister’s name (my daughter) and there is no reason for this, his phone contact for me is my name and everything looks normal. My husband receives them (exact same photo air dropped at exactly the same time) as my name! Why would one person in the family see me as another name on air drop? Thank you for any help

I found the problem!

I logged in to my Apple ID on the iCloud website and found that in my Sign In and Security menu I had my own email and phone number AND my daughter’s email address associated! I’ve removed hers and instantly fixed the Airdrop issue!
