My iCloud e mail shows my husband name as the sender name when I send an email from my iPhone. How can I correct that?

I already corrected the name in my apple ID (it had my husband's name, but not anymore), and I already checked my Apple ID and is now with my name, but still if I send an email from my iCloud e-mail account from my iphone, my husband's name still appears as the sender. How can I correct that?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

This might work. I had the same problem in Mail on my iMac.

FIrst, login to www.icloud.com. If your name is right on iCloud, open Mail in the iCloud window and click on the gear icon (prefeences) You can fix your name there. On the iMac, I had to wait a few minutes, quit and restart Mail, and check preferences. Then on starting a new message, there was a pulldown under "From", that I used to select the one with my correct name and correct email address. I just deleted that blank email, and others since then default to the correct name.

Don't know if this will work for mail sent from the iPhone, but once the Cloud Mail is corrected, hopefully it will do the trick.
