How to fix name that appears in gmail address? Help.

It was my secondary address so I did not really care. But now I need to use it.
I somehow for some stupid reason ended up having my gmail name in the address field show up “me”, and I just can’t seem to change it to my real or any other name.
it looks like this me(xyz@gmail.com).

Google and Gmail knows my real name but for some reason I can’t find the field that will let me change the name that appears in the Email from line. Please help.

OK. I am dumb. “Me” only comes up when sending notes to myself. I did have “me” at one time as a lark but I changed it to my real name a while back.

Yahoo does not do this. It justs lists my name as it is written.
