My name change does not reflect in sent mail
Regardless of what I do, my name will not change on outgoing mail

Thank you for your feedback.
To change the sending name in Yahoo Mail, please follow these instructions:
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN28072.html
Please note: Some third-party apps have their own sending name setting, which bypasses the Yahoo Mail setting. If the app you're using attaches a different name than the one saved in your Yahoo Mail settings, contact the manufacturer of the app for assistance.

I cannot change it either, even though I have changed it before. It is annoying and embarrassing! It shows my correct legal name on my end, just not when I send emails.

I am also suffering for this same reason. I have changed my name and it does not reflect on the outgoing emails. It's quite frustrating and it isn't professional. Please fix this HUGE issue.

The link given doesn’t work. How do we change the name that shows on sent emails? I’m divorced and really am sick of my married name showing.

I am having the same issue, where Ive updated my name in the Account Settings, but it does not reflect on the email name stamp when people receive emails from me. It is very confusing to those recipients who are official and important, where my identity needs to match my email address!!! I really wish they would correct this!

Please fix whatever is wrong. I've been dealing with this for years as have many people. We update our name under the account info section but the outgoing emails still reflect our old last names. I do not want to just create a new account as I have all my important information going to this email and junk to other emails so I don't need another. Please fix.

please change my name as it ought to be. When sending a professional mail it looks fraudulent.

I created an alias email address, and somehow it is associated with the name Isadora Reid, which is not my name. My name is Simera Crawford, and I can't seem to change that name which I have no idea how it got attached to my alias address. However, the emails from the alias address still comes to my inbox associated with the original email after I did a test, and I can still sign-in with the alias address... but Isadora Reid's name must go!
