I have a sign on for messenger which of course is not my personal name. I went to sign on today and everything appeared to be ok untill i went to chat with a friend.
My personal name showed up instead of my sign on name. I have been in my account information and nothing has changed at all. I was chating this morning and everything was fine. I dont feel comfortable with my personal name showing up now for my friends instead of my screen name.
Help!
I have noticed that same thing myself, and a few other rather strange things that happen in yahoo messenger. I dont blame you for being uncomfortable seeing your real name like that. After all isnt that the reason for the nick names to start with. I know that I also have been told that people have seen my name online, when there is no way possible that could happen, because I am always in the invisable mode…

On Yahoo you have an option of renaming contacts by their name or a nickname. Also – when you add someone, you also are prompted to enter a name or nickname for a person if you wish.
Are you sure your friends just haven’t renamed you n’ forgotten or something?
