Mar 30, 2016 12:29 PM in response to inga555by braden85,Hi there inga555,
I understand you have undergone a name change, but are perplexed that your old name still appears sometimes in the course of using your devices. There are various areas in your devices that may still use your old name; I will address the two you have called out in your post in the following paragraphs.
First, your emails are still showing your old name likely due to your name not being changed through your email provider. More information on this can be found here:
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support

In order to change this, you may need to delete your email account from your device, then re-add the email account, using the full name you wish to display when you send a message.
Your old name may be appearing with AirDrop because your devices may still contain your old name. Here’s a link that will tell you where to find this on your computer:
OS X El Capitan: Find your computer’s name and address

And here is where you will find this setting on your iOS device:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
