Here's my standard response to that issue:
You can change how your name displays on your computer by choosing "My Contact Details" in the Messenger menu, then changing the First/Last name fields, or adding a nickname.
Note that no matter what display name you choose, this will *only* be seen by *you* on your computer. Yahoo! Messenger does *not* send your display name with your messages, only your ID. Your name will appear on the other side as whatever that person chose to enter for you in their address book, or the name you entered in your profile page (http://manage.members.yahoo.com/index_listprofiles.html) or as just your ID if you're not in their address book and there is no display name in your profile.
You can verify this yourself by right-clicking on any contact in your list, changing their name to whatever you want, and then seeing that name appear the next time you IM with them. I know it's a little confusing, since other programs like MSN Messenger do send display names; but not Yahoo!.
