Changing the name in Gtalk/Gmail is the issue which many people find it difficult to do so. After getting the same query each month by some one or the other, I decided to write the procedure in an article. Well changing the name is not at all difficult but you have to dig around a little in Gmail.

I was also facing the same problem. But i found the real solution for that. If your friends are not able to see your current display name or id. It is from thier side and not from your side. If you are adding a person today and he is having a orkut name as “xxx yyy”, then you gtalk will show his name as “xxx yyy”. the gtalk stores the name based on the date you added them. now, what you have to do is, tell your friends to change your display name manually. and it will last forever. hope this helps.
