There is not a option to change your name. You will have to contact the customer support at paypal and then they will change your account name.
I don't think there is any option for that and you may contact cutomer care and maybe you can create one more account in Paypal with correct details of yoursQuote:

There is a name option in the street address section but you cannot edit it so better contact the support and get in fixed within a day. Paypal support is quick enough to reply soon.
I have done this now and I am waiting for there answer. Do you think they will let me pass any valid identification if they will have to change the name on my account?Quote:

i don't know if this is allowed or not. but i know that it is quite difficult to change your personal names. i don't think that paypal is quite fast in replying.
Well i tried the way you saud and the paypal says they can not change our username as there are ri\ules like you have given all true primary details while signup.So i think you can not make this one.
As per my knowledge is concerned, PayPal don't have any specific option to change your name, but You may contact to support team of the PayPal regarding the same issue....Quote:

maybe he can choose to close this one and creat a new one with correct name.
well that will be the correct thing i think. he should be closing the account and open a new one otherwise paypal will treat you as a cheater.
true.the most efficient way is to close the old one and open another new one.Quote:

I contacted papal by sending them mail. The add the minor detail that was lucking in my name my second name and my middle initials. I still am wondering if this would be the answer to the error.

yes they already add the small detail since it was not a major problem but they say if it was going to be a major change like change the whole name then they will need some proof or valid ID but since mine was only adding minor detail like middle initials and my second name then they change it within 24 hours. :DQuote:

We can help you change the name on your account if it's misspelled or if you've legally changed your name. However, it is not possible to change the name on your account to another person's name.
To change the name on your account, please submit a request through our secure form.

is this the message you get from papal?
Paypal is very secure and will look into all details before proceeding with name change and you can even try calling them directly through customer acre number5 and they will respond to it
No according to pay pal tos you can only change misspelled name by requesting to the support but you can't change total name.
Well if we need to change whole name if can't be possible and we need to send them xerox copy of identity documents for verification stuff.Quote:

As of my experience some minor details like adding second name and middle initials can be added to your name like for example your full name is Jhon Lyod T. Cruz then you forgot to put Lyod T. just contact them then they will add that detail to your name.
well. if that Lyod T is a family name that would be impossible paypal can add/change it on your account. as per above said. family name is not allowed to change at all.Quote:

people can just close their account. i think that is teh best and make another new account. so there will not need any more changing of names. i think that paypal is very strict on the profile. they want to see real names. and not just make up names.
Yeah that is what my friend told me. but in my case there was only a small detail need to be added to my account at PP so that it would coincide with my bank account name. :DQuote:

Yeah they can change that as long as the original name and family name are there and you only have to add minor detail to your name.Quote:

I do not think changing name is allowed without documents.You will have to submit your true identity proof.Then it will be possible.
we can change paypal account name by change our email which add to paypal,and whether we can change our other paypal account details.like country?
no. we are not allowed to change country i'm afraid and we also only can change our given name but the family name is not allowed to change after we registered.
You can change name but you have to give proof of that and for e mail id you can add e mail id but dont know that you can change your primary id or not.Quote:
