To test that your display name change was successful, try composing a new email message and addressing it to yourself. After you send the email, you should be able to see the new display name once the test email is received.

Keep in mind that if your Outlook account is hosted via Microsoft Exchange, like many companies do, you will not be able to change the display name unless you are the organization's account administrator.
