My iPhone shows the wrong name on Caller ID

When I call from my IPhone it displays my girlfriends name and not mine on called ID. How do I change this? It is a company phone and has nothing to do with her.

Verify that your own Contact Card, in your Apple Contact App, contains just your own details - and not those of your girfriend:

Similarly, check that the [presumed] Contact Card for your girlfriend has the correct and accurate information.

Do you and your girlfriend share the same Apple Account? If yes, Apple Accounts should NOT be shared. Each person should have their own unique Apple Account. What you've described would certainly cause this.
