The new Windows Live Messenger, differently from previous WLM versions, doesn’t give you the opportunity to modify and alter your nickname or display name . What’s worst is that Windows Live Messenger 2011 will only display your real name and surname which you previously set in your profile when you signed-up. Let’s see together how you can easily modify and add your nickname thanks to this little trick!
- The only way to add a nickname to Windows Live Messenger 2011 is to modify your real name and last name. No other ways are possible at this time.
- Open and login Windows Live Messenger 2011.
- Click your user name using the small arrow on top of the messenger’s window.
- Click Edit your Name in the menu.
- A Windows Live Profile web page will be automatically opened in your browser. Modify or change the First Name and Last Name.
- Click the Save button.
- Done!

Definitely does not work for me. Changes saved and all, when you go to info it displays what I want it to display but msn name just won’t update despite all the rebooting/closing/opening going on.
