How do I use my nickname instead of my real name on messenger?

Display Name on Yahoo Messenger?

  • Hi, all my friends use Windows live messenger, and I am the only one using Yahoo messenger. When I chat with them, my real name appears, not my nick name. In messenger>my contact details, I have entered all my three names, my nick name, my First name and my last name, but no matter what I do, when I chat with my friends my first and last name appear together instead of my nickname. Is there some way that just makes my nickname appears while I chat with them?Thanks. P.S. I can see there nicknames in my messenger.

  • Answer:

    Delete all Name fields in My Contact Details but keep Nickname field. Save & Close.
