Changing name on iPhone

Recently had my last name changed. Updated my Apple ID to the correct last name. However, my maiden name is still showing in multiple spots on the phone. Is there another spot that I need to change the name of so my maiden name doesn't appear anymore?

If you have changed your ID, have you followed the steps in this article? Make sure you turn of Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
