If you still need help, follow these steps on all of your Apple devices:
Its not up to you, its up to them. They need to have a contact with your E-Mail address and your name for messages to show a name when they receive an iMessage from you. You cannot force your name on someone else's iPhone.
Alternatively, if your friend has a contact with your number instead of your E-Mail, you can go to Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->"Start New Conversations From", and make sure your number is selected there instead of your E-Mail.
