The name displayed on my Google account is someone else's so I need to change it, however I can't figure out how to do that. I deleted my Google+ account in the hopes that that would do it but it hasn't. When I go to any Google account settings it has my correct name but is not using that when I share documents with people.

Best Answer
Google Drive and the Google Docs Editors apps (Documents, Drawings, Sheets and Slides) use the First Name and Last Name set for the Google account as the display name.
The Google Account settings page have a first name and a last name fields for accounts without a Google+ profile. To edit the first name and last name go to http://myaccount.google.com, then to Your Personal Info.
In some cases could be alternate usernames, like when the user set nicknames in Google Groups.
For accounts with a Google+, go to http://plus.google.com then click in the dropdown at the left and select Profile.
