When I send an e mail, the recipient receives it in my son’s name, not mine. The e mail address is correct.

    Hi,

    This means 2 things:

    1. Your name is incorrectly set to your child at https://account.microsoft.com/profile page.
    2. The reciever has saved your contact with the name of your child.

    Which one is true, can you verify please?

    I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
