In what way are the names incorrect? Are they completely wrong or just short names or nicknames?


On your iPhone or iPad: If Photos is shortening the names, change the Settings > Contacts.

There you can specify, if the names should be shown in the order first name, last name or vice versa, and also the format for the short name. Photos will follow the Settings for the Contacts, at least in the most recent system versions.
