How do I get a new screen name for yahoo messenger?

When I use Yahoo messenger, my screen name comes up. How do I get my real name to come up?

Answer:

Yahoo has made major changes to their profile system. There is now only a single profile even if you have multiple aliases. You can choose to link the aliases to the profile or not.
