My pin drop location name
When I send my location via MAPS on my iPhone 10se with a pin drop, it doesn’t show my name. It says “Ben’s” location.
(???)

Hello mcclaine254,
Typically, when you share your location using a dropped pin via Maps, the location will show in Messages as "Dropped Pin."
This is detailed in the guide: Mark places in Maps on iPhone – Apple Support
