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.

This looks like a super annoying "feature" on Apple's side. Did you try calling Apple directly? They are usually quite helpful, even if your AppleCare has expired. Besides I honestly think this is something they should be aware of.

Hope it helps. Have a nice day!
