My name on Zoom

My name is correct on my Zoom account but when someone invites me to a meeting it says my name is "I want to go outside" it is very embarrasing but I cant figure out why it is happening. My son said he changed it to that name this summer but I can't find it in my settings and it wont change when I am on a Zoom. Help!!

The Display name is where the name that appears in Zoom meetings and across the platform is stored. You can change this in the Zoom Profile settings, please see details on how to do this in the link below.
