Sharing contacts with different names and photos on iPhone

My wife's phone is showing my name and photo when she calls her friends. How do we share contacts but keep separate photos and contact names to our friends?

When she calls her friends, my name and photo are popping up on their phones.

Are you guys sharing an Apple Account? If so, you should not be doing that and you should each have your own Apple Account.


Once you guys each make your own Apple Account, you guys can be configured to share contacts data. In Settings > Apps > Contacts > Contact Accounts > Add Account.
