How can I change my yahoo mail name?

How can I change my displayed name at Yahoo Mail?

• Hey mates, When I started to use yahoo mail I set a nickname as my displayed name. By now I would like to set my real name as the displayed name. I searched and searched but couldn't find a possibility to change this. Has anybody an idea how this works? I already changed my name in my Yahoo Profile - My Info - Display name but people still speak to me using my old nickname :( I also sent a test e-mail to another mail account and there still appears the old nickname. What do I have to change therefor? Thanks for your help!! :)
