| Oct 22, 2018 at 2:03 | comment | added | AbePralle | Same problem. I changed my name in iCloud Preferences > Account Details, which is the only place I can find my full name instead of my nickname that I want. Still hasn't affected AirDrop, but I think that's maybe the answer in the long run. | |
