    if you're after quick fix.. login to Yahoo! Messenger click on Messenger select My Contact Details at the top is Name: followed by First (Name) Last (Name) Nickname to stop Yahoo! Messenger accessing the default details stored in your Yahoo! Account information, all 3 fields should be complete. if you want to make sure your default details are never sent out then you need to edit your account information (the form you filled out when you signed up for your yahoo id) http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile Once there... 1.Ignore the first instance of your Names, scroll down the page until you see Address / Contact Information, click Edit... 2. now at the top of the page should be Your Name, edit both fields 3. hit Finished, if prompted, then confirm your password, you will be redirected back to your Yahoo! Account Information page where you can see the changes, if you're happy with the results, click Finish again, then exit out of your browser and log back into Yahoo!
