Airdrop showing wrong name

I have an iPad Pro running version 12.1.1. In Settings the name shows properly as Charles's iPad but when I try to airdrop photos it shows on other devices as John iPad. I see nowhere to change this? Anyone have a suggestion?


Solution 1:

Finally fixed this. All the settings on my iPhone were correct, but my iMac kept thinking my phone had a different name (my son's). Took me a while, but figured out that my iMac was using my iCloud contacts, which I don't sync to my phone. I tracked down a stray listing for my son and deleted it, and now my iMac recognizes my phone correctly. So double check all your contact listings, both on your phone/iPad and in iCloud!
