How do you change your yahoo identity?

I did the click on my name and change my personal info to what I'd prefer to be my identity, but when I send emails the sender part still comes out as my real name. Where it says hello yadda yadda, it shows what I changed it too, but, like I said, my emails still show my real name. I don't know what else to do. Help Please!How do you change your yahoo identity?
You need to change your %26quot;From%26quot; and that will fix your problem.

1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select Mail Options.

2. From the list on the left, click Accounts.

3. Click Add or edit an account ?it檚 toward the middle of the page.

4. In the box on the left, click Yahoo! Mail.

5. Click Edit.

6. In the %26quot;From name:%26quot; box, enter your name how you'd like it to appear in the %26quot;From:%26quot; line of your outgoing messages. Example: %26quot;Sally Tiptoes.%26quot; This is the name people will see in their Inboxes for messages from you.

7. You can leave the %26quot;Reply to:%26quot; field blank, so your Yahoo! Mail address is automatically the return address when others reply to you. Or, you can specify a different return address by entering it after %26quot;Reply to:%26quot;.

8. Click Save to put your new settings into effect.

Note: The %26quot;From name%26quot; field can't contain special characters like the %26quot;@%26quot; symbol. And, the address in %26quot;Reply to:%26quot; can't exceed 40 characters.

If you are using the All New Mail then it is a little different.

I don't know if you can change it. The same thing happened to me.
