Shared by name

Does anyone know where the 'shared by name', shown when photo streams are shared, is generated from. My wife and I have ipads, we have different apple accounts but when we share photos the 'shared by name' for both is the same.

iPad 2, iOS 6.1

Thanks. I have just looked there and the account used is the Apple account and we have different id's. The only connection I see is that both id's use the same bank account. The name on the billing address details of the account is the name used in the 'shared by' message. I don't think it should be using the name from the payment details as this could surely be a company or relative. I would expect it to use maybe something from the iPad name in Settings/General/About.
