Unfotunally that won't really work.
It's all about verification which is legal requiement. Financial institutions such as banks, credit card issues and 3rd party transaction processors such as PayPal are required by law to verify the identity of the person behind any and all Accounts into which money is collected. This stems from the USA Patriot Act, Title III, Anti-money laundering to prevent terrorism where as institutions put into place reasonable steps to identify beneficial owners of bank accounts and those who are authorized to use or route funds through payable-through accounts.
One option to avoid your real name being displayed is to have a Business Account. Business Accounts allow you to display a Business Name where as Personal Accounts and Premier Accounts will display your name.
