I have set my new name everywhere I can in the AppleID settings but the old name is still showing up in this place, and maybe in other places which I haven’t seen yet. But how can I get my chosen name to show up here?

(for clarity, this is the profile picture selection on iPadOS)

Solution: The solution for me was that I had to change my name in the contacts.

Pretty sure you just login to iCloud.com and then go to account settings.

I’ll check once I am at a PC.

As I said in the post body already. The name in my AppleID settings is the new one already.

I recently learned some Lemmy clients don’t display body in the cross posted sub so it’s very likely people won’t have seen that information here.

This looks like a super annoying “feature” on Apple’s side. Did you try calling Apple directly? They are usually quite helpful, even if your AppleCare has expired. Besides I honestly think this is something they should be aware of.

Hope it helps. Have a nice day!
