You will see on your mac the name you have given yourself in the addressbook card.

The others see you as your username (aim) or as username@mac.com - so if garyozzy is your aim handle then that is what they will see.

Use iChat to sign up for a NEW Account in AOL. Then when creating that account use a screen name you want (unless someone else has that screen name).
