iPhone contacts remembering old name

Please help, my friend is going through an awful divorce. I’ve updated her contact details back to maiden name etc and that is working in all places apart from when I add her to a calendar invite. Her name is showing as her married name which she obviously finds upsetting when I try to invite her to a friendly zoom.

ive tried removing her from recents, deleting and re making her contact record.

if I add her to an normal email it’s not doing it so it’s almost like calendar has some separate reference table of contacts

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hi Tippez,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand when you send a Calendar invite it's showing an older contact name, and we'd like to assist. Just to clarify, are these the steps you're following to send the invite?


Send and receive invitations in Calendar on iPhone


Are you tapping the plus symbol and then selecting the updated contact?


Also, which version of iOS do you have? You can find the version in Settings > General > About.


We look forward to learning more about your issue.


Take care.
