A nickname is a non-unique name used to represent you on Yahoo! 360° and, if you choose, on other properties on Yahoo!. Since a nickname is non-unique, it allows you to hide your Yahoo! ID from those viewing your page. Since this is what others will see when they visit your page or see you on other areas of Yahoo! 360°, we require you to have a nickname. The default nickname we create for you is your first name and the first initial of your last name.

You can change your nickname anytime:

• 1. Click "Settings" at the top of the page.
• 2. Under "Basic Info," go to the nickname enter field.
• 3. Enter a different nickname and click the "Save" button at the top or bottom of the page.
