Changing my name in My Yahoo! where it says Welcome, (your name here)?

Question

I need to change this because when I joined, I made my name 'My Name' so it thinks my first name is 'My' so it says 'Welcome, My' on My Yahoo! and it's really annoying me because I want it to be my real name. How do you change this?

Answer 1

Hello,

After signing to your e-mail account, click on "Options" located at the top right corner of the page;

Select "Account Information" in the box at the left side of the page;

you will be asked for your password, enter it;

You will get "Review My Account Information";

GO to "Address/Contact Information" at the second half of the page;

click on "Edit";

There is a box "Your name";

Enter your name, click on "Finished";

Again "Finished" in "Review My Account Information" page;

You are all set.

**You need to sign-out and sign-in back to check the modified name.

**EDIT:  The new mail also have "Options"; you will get a scroll down list, click on mail options;

click on "Accounts"; looks like they are still making some modifications; (click on it and check it out);

"Temporarily you'll need to access it through the Yahoo! Mail Classic interface. But, rest assured, any changes made will take effect once you've reloaded the Yahoo! Mail"

This is what they wrote, so follow the procedure i wrote above, you will get your name on the welcoming page.
