If you have ever sent an email and realized your name showed up wrong on the other end, you know how annoying that is. Maybe it shows your old name, a nickname, or just something that does not look professional. It is a small thing, but it does leave an impression on whoever receives your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlook lets you change that display name without much trouble. The display name is basically what people see in their inbox when you send them something. It is not your email address. It is just the name that appears next to it. People change it for different reasons. Some just set it up wrong the first time. Others changed their name and need to update it. Some want to switch from a casual name to a more professional one for work emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
