Thanks. I thought that it could be something like that, but wasn't sure because my own PSN name has been different than my Epic account name from the beginning.
Do you have any idea, why my kid's Fortnite account on PS4 hooked up on his PSN name, but gave him different name in the Fortnite app?
This means at some point you or your kid have set up Epic name. On any console the preference is always given to the name the player has on that specific platform. However on PC and mobile, if an account has an Epic name, that Epic name will be shown.
You are looking at the same account, just that on Playstation the game will show the associated PSN name for the account instead of the actual Epic account name - the one you see on mobile. So to change the name on Playatstion, you need to change the name of the associated PSN account, not Epic. This is how to do it: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/account/change-psn-online-id/
P.S. Keep in mind, Sony asks a fee to change PSN name
