Q: iPhone showing wrong contact for "Me"

I was randomly browsing through my phone today and noticed a weird problem. When I select Phone -> Contacts, the top contact for "Me" is displaying a name that I do not recognize. Furthermore, this person does not exist on my contact list. This isn't a place that I look through often, so I have no idea how long this has being going on.

 

How do I change the name back to myself?

 

This is an iPhone 6, running iOS 9.2.

 

 

Thanks!

    Zmender,

     

    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Contacts>My Info>...and choose your contact card.

    Thanks Ferd! Would you know how this problem occurred in the first place?

    This isn't where it's found under iOS 10.  We have this problem (or a variation of it) -- my husband's phone shows me as its "me" under the Phone/Contacts (my name & picture at the top there).  However in Settings/Contacts, the "My info" does correctly show his entry.  And when I follow that through to the entry in Contacts, it does show "me" next to the entry for his name.

     

    How can we get the phone sorted so that from the view in Phone/Contacts it shows his name and photo?
