How do I prevent my real name from showing up on someone's messenger list?

When adding someone new to my messenger list I don't necessarily want my real name to show. I've tried changing this in my account info, and still my real name shows up. I know other people have their Yahoo ID showing, or a bogus name instead of their real name. How can I remedy this?

That's weird. You can try typing in a bogus name yourself in your account info, and if you have a profile change that too. Good luck
