Answer 1

Which do you want to change, your group name or your Yahoo ID?

If it's your Group name, then click on Management on the left-hand side of your Group's web page.  Then clikc on Description & Appearance under Group Settings.  Then click the Edit link next to Web Address.  Then change the name in the box.  Don't forget to click Save Changes when you're done.

If you want to change your Yahoo ID instead, then go to http://members.yahoo.com/ and click on View My Profiles towards the upper-right-hand corner.  Then click the Create New Public Profile button and follow the directions on the resulting page.  When you're done creating it, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups and click on Edit My Groups (towards the upper-left-hand corner).  Then use the pull-down list to change the Yahoo Profile column in your Group to the new profile ID you just created.  Don't forget to click Save Changes (towards the lower-right-hand corner) when you're done.

Answer 2

not sure exactly what you mean, and what name you don't want to show. if it's part of your Yahoo ID/ account, you need that if you want group features. no matter what ID you use, it will show.

you could consider creating an alias off your primary Yahoo ID, this may fix whatever it is I'm not quite understanding

How do I create a new alias and Profile?

after creating this, you'd go back to your group, top middle near title click edit membership, scroll down and switch ID's, click save changes
