Why does my wife's name appear when I call a new contact?

So I met a guy at a marketing event from New York gave him my phone number or he gave me his and when I called him, it showed up as my wife’s name instead of unknown caller, which is the norm. We soon to be divorced and I feel like she’s tapping my phone. Anybody else experienced this?

If your Wife is the account owner of the Cellular plan, then it may be her name used for Caller ID when calling anyone that has not put your name in their Contacts. That is a service of your cellular provider. I have members of my family that will show up as their Mother, unless I add their number to my Contacts with their name, then it will show up as them instead.
