How to change mail display name

How can I change the name that is displayed on emails that I send from my Apple Mail account?


I'm not talking about changing my email address. I'm talking about the name that appears greyed out in the Mail preferences "Full Name" field.


I have already changed the name in my icloud account in the "Manage My Apple ID," yet, there is no change.


Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm having the same problem four years later. I bought my daughter an iPad and now all my emails have her name as the sender in all my emails. I can't see 'the Alias popup', I'm guessing it's changed. Any chance you could help with the 2017 fix? Much appreciated. Chris
