Do you use Yahoo?\nIf so, do the following:\n\nFrom your main screen at Yahoo, Click "Options" on the far right.\nThen click "General Preferences" (a few down in the middle column)\n\nThen in the "From Name" box, change the name that appears.

Yes, you have to go to options, and then to general settings.  The first thing on the general settings is where you can change your name/nick, etc.

What messenger program are you using?  You need to go into settings or options or preferences or whatever and change the name it shows.  I can't be more specific unless you tell me what program you are using.

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

Just go to "Options" and go to your "account information" and where it says name just put your initials  (usually they require something in that spot). That should work. That way no one will know who you are.  I have done this before and it worked fine!  The account info doesn't exactly have to be your full name!  Hope this helps!

Click on "My Q&A."  Then in the right corner, it says "Edit My Info" in blue, and it's underlined. Click that. Then it says "Use yahoo ID or pick a nickname" Select the "Use A Nickname" option, and type in your nickname in the box. Go down, hit "Preview" then "OK" and you're done! You now have a new name!

Click on the photo of you, and that will take you to "My Q&A.  Then click on "Edit My Info"   Then go down to "Email Settings \n Allow email communications with other Yahoo! Answers users. (All email addresses will be confidential) " and click the little box. Don't click on the book that says "Yahoo! Messenger Settings"\n  Then click preview and that should work.  That is how I got mine off.   Good luck!!
