I have set my new name everywhere I can in the AppleID settings but the old name is still showing up in this place, and maybe in other places which I haven’t seen yet. But how can I get my chosen name to show up here?

(for clarity, this is the profile picture selection on iPadOS)

Solution: The solution for me was that I had to change my name in the contacts.

    On my iPhone (sorry, my iPad is at work) I tapped on my profile picture in settings, then personal information, then name, entered my name, hit done, then back, then swiped away settings and when I reopened settings and touched on my V profile picture again my name updated.

    Hopefully that works for you.
