Gmail and Vz cell phone

I've been using Gmail to access my Verizon.net email on my Vz cell phones for years and have been pretty happy with the pairing.

For some reason when I send a message the receiving person now sees my email address  (xxxxxx@verizon.net) instead of my first name / last name as it used to appear.

Seems like this may have started when I switched from my original Pixel cell phone to a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. When I discovered this issue I initially thought I messed something up when set up Gmail on the S10. Since I still had the Pixel I went back to check the settings and see everything appears to be the same.

I've traded emails with my wife using her Note 9 and see that her email address is displaying now instead of her first name / last name.

Anyone else seeing this? Any idea on how to get my first name / last name to display when I send an email?

I think you probably want the Verizon Wireless Community. These boards are for Verizon's landline services.
