PM does not send name to the receivers of your calls, they only send the number
The reason those who dont have your number see a different name is that their phone used some build in number-name lookup services. There are multiple ones depending on the devices those people have. For example, Samsung uses Hiya services. To update the name entry for you number on Hiya, you have to reach out to them directly here: https://hiyahelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

@Olage1 , unless you block or spoof your number, the recipient's phone will receive the call based on your actual number and then associate it to the contact list on the phone. That should be what is displayed. For names not in the contact list, there should only be a phone number displayed, actual or spoofed.

This is not a Public Mobile issue. Public Mobile does not even send a name along with the phone number. Your phone number has been associated with someone else's name is a database that is being maintained by a thrid party. You'll need to contact that third party company.
