Open Messenger and left click on the "Messenger link" at the top left corner (the area that has all of the links for your Preferences, tools etc.) and click on MY Contact Details at the bottom of the screen for Contact details there is an area that says yahoo ID and it will have the name that you currently show as your ID, but then you can just type over it and have it say what you want. I hope that this information is helpful to you.

You cannot change your name in yahoo messenger.\nThis can be done in msn messenger but not in yahoo.

you can try uninstalling and reinstalling yahoo messenger. And again adding the names this will most probably solve the problem.

You can create a new account, or you can change your nick name.  You can do this in your profile, or you can go to "file" and then "change nickname" in a chatroom.  I think when I've done this, I've had to sign out and then back in again for it to work.

Go To the My Q&A Portion located below the word ask....\nThere's an option below your profile name:\nPublic View of my profile    -   Edit My Info\n*Click "Edit My Info" \n*Click the Option "Use another nickname"...\n*At the Communication Part - Put a Check at E-mail Settings\nonly....nothing else...\nYour E-mail Add stays Hidden upon receiving msgs from another user...(Just ignore the Yahoo Mssgr portion okay! - Don't put any check on that)

it depends on your messenger account.\n\nIf its yahoo and you have different profile set up,  you can just click on who you want to talk to, and then from there your profile name should pop up and you just click on that and pick which one you would like to use...\n\ngood luck!

Sounds like you are talking about the Display name that shows up on the other end as to who it is coming from. While in your Yahoo email click on Options towards the top right of the screen.\n\nAt the top Under General Preferences,Name and Email, From Name change it to how you would like it to show up.\n\nHope that helps

You can either choose your real name to show you are chatting on im or you can pick a different name to show when you are chatting on im. Check to see if you chose a second name to show on im.

To change your name for just Yahoo! Answers:\n\n1. Click on the My Q&A link in the green bar near the top of the page.\n2. Near where your avatar is displayed on your profile page, there will be an option to 'Edit My Info'.\n3. The first question asks what name to use. Click on 'Use another nickname', type in the name you want to use, click on 'Preview' at the bottom, and then 'OK'.

I use my normal yahoo e-mail but use a nickname my friends call me rather than my yahoo ID. Only I see my e-mails, and I can soon block unwanted ones if people become abusive.

On the top of this page (unless you are reading this in an email) click on your nickname, then click "Edit my Info" and the profile options should come up. \n\nHave you done that already?
