Android Central Question

I had never sent this person a text before. He replied using my name. I asked hiw he knew me. He said my name was on the bottom of the text msg screen. How can this happen.
 
Look in Settings in your text app for "signature". For most purposes it's best to leave that blank. (You're texting people who know you, and it takes up characters.)
