Android application name not correct in apps, but is correct in Application Manager

I am still learning Android app development. I have an app that I am developing in Android Studio. In my phones application manager, the name of the app is correct. In my apps, it shows Main Menu for the app name. I have tried clearing cache, uninstalling and re-installing. I have checked the Android Manifest. Everything looks correct. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.xxx.xxxx" >

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainMenu"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main_menu" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main_menu" >
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".MultipleChoice"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_multiple_choice" >
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".SettingsActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_settings" >
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">Ultra Math</string>

    <string name="RightText">Right</string>
    <string name="option1">1st Option</string>
    <string name="option2">2nd Option</string>
    <string name="LeftText">Left</string>
    <string name="OperatorText">+</string>
    <string name="StartButton">Start</string>
    <string name="TimeLeft">Time Left: 60</string>
    <string name="btn0">0</string>
    <string name="btn1">1</string>
    <string name="btn2">2</string>
    <string name="btn3">3</string>
    <string name="btn4">4</string>
    <string name="btn5">5</string>
    <string name="btn6">6</string>
    <string name="btn7">7</string>
    <string name="btn8">8</string>
    <string name="btn9">9</string>
    <string name="btnEnter">Enter</string>
    <string name="btnNegative">-</string>
    <string name="title_activity_menu">Ultra Math</string>

    <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="title_activity_main_menu">Main Menu</string>
    <string name="btnTypeAnswers">Type Answers</string>
    <string name="Zero">0</string>
    <string name="two">2</string>
    <string name="title_activity_multiple_choice">Multiple Choice</string>
    <string name="btnMultipleChoice">Multiple Choice</string>
</resources>

Is there any place else that I can look, or anything else that I can try?

Thanks,

David

It takes its name from the title of the launcher activity. so you need to change the string at title_activity_main_menu

or set it like this

<activity
    android:name=".MainMenu"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
