For some time now whenever I call someone my wife's name comes up as the caller. At one point in time some of her info was in My Card, but I have edited it and now there is no trace of her information. She is only listed as a contact. Yet, people I call seem to think I am her.
There must be a setting somewhere I have missed, but I can't find it. Could it have anything to do with Family Sharing settings?

Check your Caller ID setting as well.
iPhone > Settings > Apps > Phone > Show My Caller ID > Switch on, if it is on, momentarily switch off, then switch on.
The 8 iPhones on my AT&T account give each user the option to change their name when they go into their personal profiles on my account.
Open the Settings App and tap your name at the top. Make sure ALL the information in Personal Information and Sign-In & Security is you, your numbers, email addresses etc.
Next in Settings > Scan down to Apps > Phone > Make sure it's your number listed there and that you are not sharing with your wife in Share Name and Photo. Also make sure Calls on Other Devices is off.
Is the cellular service in her name? If so, she will need to go on your carrier’s web site or call them to change the name associated with your line.
Nope. In fact, the carrier service is through the company I work for.
Do you and your wife share the same Apple ID? That often happens as a result of sharing an Apple ID, which you shouldn't do.
She has her own ID, I have my own ID. She is on a different carrier.
I let her share some stuff in Family Sharing.
Ah ha. Share name and photo was set to off. Maybe that was it. I turned it on and will see if that makes a difference.

Let us know if this resolved this for you.
Why does everyone think I am my wife?
