How do I change my name that shows up on my emails in yahoo?

How do I change my name on my Yahoo mail account so when I send emails it shows my new name?

  • I got married earlier this year, and now that I have changed my last name, I want to change that on my email as well. I was signed in, then went to the Yahoo homepage and clicked on where it said my name, then changed my last name and clicked Finished. Then I went into my email and sent an email to another account I have just to test it, and it still shows my old name in the "From" part. Do I need to change my name somewhere else, or does it take some time for it to update itself?
