Hey Farzad,
I see that you'd like to change the name to show something else when someone is sharing a file to you via AirDrop. I can help.
On your Mac, click the Apple logo in the top left > System Preferences > Users & Groups. The Current User, which is you, should be selected here. In the main window, click "Open" which is next to "Contacts Card". From there, a Contact Card will open with your name. Click the Edit button so you can edit this, and then the name you type in quotation marks below the full name will be the name that is displayed when sharing via AirDrop.
If this is instead on an iOS device, then you can change the name that displays by going to Settings > General > About > Name.
Let us know if that did the trick for you. Take care!
