Is there a way to change your name on yahoo messenger?

OK first of all that option in Preferences, Appearance, to show first name, last name/or nickname or Yahoo ID has nothing to do with what people see for you, that is how you want your contacts to appear on your messenger list. To change your My Contact Details follow these steps (you do not need to create an alias to do this). DISPLAY NAME AT TOP OF Y!M AND IN THE IM WINDOW 1. Click Messenger at top of Y!M. 2. Click My Contact Details. 3. Put in the first name and last name you want people to see when they add you. It is best not to use your real name. I would use True as my first name and Colors as my last. 4. Add a nickname if you want one. When you do, this is what will show at the top of Y!M. If you do not, then what you entered for your first name and last name will show at the top. 5. Click Save & Close. ========================== Keep in mind though that the change you make in My Contact Details will only apply to those who add you in the future. If you want to change what people see who have already added you, you have 3 choices. 1. Ask your friends to delete you and then add you again after you change My Contact Details. 2. Ask your friends to manually change your contact details by right clicking your name on their messenger list and selecting Contact Details and then putting in the information you want them too. This is not really practical if you have a lot of contacts. 3. You can actually send your messenger contacts your new Contact Details. Click Actions at the top of Y!M and choose Send My Contact Details. A box will pop up and you can send your new Contact Details to as many friends as you want. Just hold down the Ctrl key when selecting multiple contacts. Follow the prompts. Please note though for some odd reason if you put a Nickname in My Contact Details it will not send but your new first name and last name will.
