Apple ID email when sending text messages

I switched from an old macbook to a new macbook and also just got a new phone. For some reason when I send messages from either device, it shows up as my apple id email instead of my phone number. My apple ID email is really embarassing and from middle school, so I really need it to stop showing up and instead show up from my phone number
