How can I change the name associated with my Apple Watch?

My daughter gave me an iWatch last Christmas. When it “talks” to me and gives me information it does not call me by my name but somehow got associated with my daughter’s name. My iPhone and iPad both show my name correctly when I go to the Apple ID setting. I have over the last 5 years since my daughter left home run into her name in my Apple stuff other times, but can’t figure out how to get her name out of my stuff. Any suggestions?

It’s fixed! Thank you!❤️ I still have to watch for it over the next few days, but my daughter’s name was on my contact list. My name was appropriately in the other 2 places. I always find it so amazing the help freely available here and elsewhere on the internet. That a stranger would take time to solve a problem for me. All the best to you.
