    Two options:

    Open a new Yahoo! account and sign up for Yahoo! mail on that account

    ~or~

    Create a second email account on the same Yahoo! account. Sign into Yahoo! Mail, choose Options in the right hand corner, under Management choose Mail Addresses.

    As Per Yahoo!....

    "Extra Mail Address - Sometimes one email address isn't enough. Need an extra one for work, school, or family? Yahoo! Mail lets you create one extra email address for free. Use it exactly like your primary address, and get messages sent to both addresses delivered to one Inbox. Remember though, you can only get one extra mail address for your account. "

    Click On "Get Started" In this area you can choose the name of your new address. Once you have created the address you can modify how the name will appear to the receipients in the Options/Management/General Preferences section.
