Why does my name show up as false whenever I send an email?

Why does my name show up attached to my email address when I send someone an email?

• When I send an email to others, my full name shows up ext to my email address. I do not want this to happen, please let me know what I can do to change it. Thanks

• Answer:

  the answer can be found in "options" on the yahoo mail page (upper right corner), on your personal info page you must have put your name in there which is optional, you can just leave it blank or use another name like Ty Coon or use a nickname in just first or last name, you will want something that the recipients will recognize it is you so they will read it, when you want your name to appear in an email I suggest using the "signature" option, also you can test this yourself by simply sending yourself an email and that is how it will appear to others hope it helps
