A Skype name is a unique ID that is associated with a specific Skype user account. Although you can change the full name associated with the account, you cannot change your Skype user name. Multiple people cannot share a Skype user name, even if they share a full name, making a Skype name a foolproof way of identifying a person on Skype. However, unlike other instant messaging programs, Skype lists your actual name rather than your Skype user name in front of your posts, so if you’ve enabled automatic logins, it takes a bit of searching to find.
