Q: How do I change my name in Bonjour
When using Bonjour in iMessage, my name is not showing up accurately.
When it is off and I am only using iCloud and AOL, my name is correct.
But when I turn on Bonjour, the name changes to someone else.
How can I correct this?
Thank you.

Hey David Nelson7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to change your display name for Bonjour messaging. Please note that in later operating systems, the application “Address Book” has been renamed to “Contacts”:

Note: Following these steps changes your Address Book card for all places that you use it, not just iChat.
1. Quit iChat if it is open.
2. Open Address Book.
3. Choose Card > Show My Card.
4. Click the Edit button.
5. Edit your first and last name.
6. Save changes by clicking the Edit button again or by selecting a different card.
7. Open iChat. Your revised name appears after you log in.
Thanks,
Matt M.
