I just logged into open and it said "logging rainbowbrite (my full name ..and a bunch of numbers) into psycho babble open." Any ideas why my real name would be shown?!?!?
Thanks

I don't know.
You must have given it your full name at some point.
I know its a bit late now...
... But you probably shouldn't do that if you prefer to remain anomymous.

Is your yahoo ID different from just "rainbowbrite"?
It logs in your yahoo ID, not your Babble ID.

When you registered with Yahoo, you probably had to enter some minimum info in addition to picking an ID. Usually first-name, last-name, other (non-Yahoo) email address. Maybe what country you're in? I can't remember all of it. Go to http://my.yahoo.com/ and click on "My Account". (You'll be asked for your Yahoo password.) The Account Info page has data that you can check/edit as necessary. You might want to edit your contact info. Or your Public Info (like Profiles).
Once you've checked that then go to http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups From there you can access the different groups you belong to. Within the groups, you can use the Edit Membership option to check/edit any identifying info there. Yahoo features can be a bit tricky at first, but you really can do a lot to protect your real identity. Maybe this Help page will... help? http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/profiles/
Good luck.
