To Change Your Name:
Log into Skype and select File/Log-in as new user --- a Log into Skype screen will apprear. Tab to New Users Create a Skype Account. Create a new name and password and you can log on. Now you can update and edit your new profile. Note your old profile will disappear from the search system over a number of days. Still you haven't lost it. It could be forgotten. You can log back on to it by using the same File command above.

Note currently it is not possible to associate two names with the same SkypeOut account. So if you had money on your old account you will have to use it to burn up the Euros.

To Change Your Profile Name:
Simply acess File/Your personal profile --- and update how you want. A useful way to use your "Full Name" field is: Say it is "John Skype" and you want to communication that you are travelling. Just make the field read "John Skype | in France" and your buddies will know where you are.

Note many people have more than one Skype Account, often keeping one for business and one for friends and family.
