He has my name programmed in his phone with all the correct content. I recently upgraded to an iphone 6 and now when i text him, it looks like I sent it from my email. I have my email addressed tied to the account and phone or whatever, but I don't want my texts coming through looking like an email. When I tried to go into settings, messaging, and check my phone number as well as my email it won't let me. The instruction screen I was looking at indicates you can have email and phone numbers set up for imessages. Does this make sense? Can someone help?

I'm sorry. That may be an imessage feature. Here's a great link that may help: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3385682

OOn your phone, go to settings, messages, send & receive. remove the check by your email.

Thanks Lewisr13. I had been trying to do that and my phone wasn't showing me the right links, or screens, or maybe I just didn't scroll down enough. Anyway, neither here nor there because I finally got it. Thanks for helping though!!

I had the same issue after updating to iOS 8. I had to uncheck emails under "receive iMessage to". In the past I only had to uncheck emails in "Sent from".
