my email keeps showing my old name instead of my new married name. So my husband sees my old married name when I send him an email and I have no idea how to change it.

Go into your email account and change your name. You are the one that sets that for your mail account. And, he may need to check his address book to ensure that he has changed your contact to reflect the change as well.


Go to Settings>Accounts & Passwords, then choose the account you wish to change. Then Tap the Account name again, that will bring you to a page to enter your name.
