• Answer:

  Click on "Account Info" which is in the drop down menu by your username where it says "Hi, ____". Sign into your Yahoo Account. Go to the section "Account Settings" and click on "Manage your Yahoo Aliases". Click on "Add an Alias". Type your alias in the box provided and then click on "Save". You can have up to 6 aliases. Click on "Close when finished". In the Messenger Pane, click on "Contacts" and then "Add a Contact" and add your aliases to your Yahoo Messenger. Alternatively, you could just change your current name by changing your Contact Details. To do this, click on "Messenger" in the top left hand corner of the Messenger Window. Click on "My Contact Details" and change your name in the top boxes and under "Nickname". Click on "Save and Close" at the bottom.
