PayPal.me Can I change the name displayed under my picture?

When it asked for business name for PayPal.me, I put YouTube, but the problem is...PayPal.me donation link calls me personally YouTube, my name is not YouTube, so I'm worried that's gonna be stupid and people might not want to ever donate to "YouTube". I for the life of me can't figure out on my own, why I can't simply change the name. I can change my Business name overall, but not the PayPal.me donation part of it. 

 

I noticed some people saying you can't change it, but they were old topics, so I want to double check here, as that sounds absolutely ridiculous, that you couldn't simply edit the name displayed.

 

Lastly, I will be putting this link on my YouTube channel, how do I set it up for potentially monthly recurring donations? I saw another YouTuber do it, but mine doesn't show that option, is it because I set mine up for business and his is personal?

 

I've contacted customer servince in an e-mail, to revert back to personal, since I originally thought you needed a business account, in order to have PayPal.me

Once you create your PayPal.Me link, you won’t be able to edit it. So choose carefully!

Yeah, it's not the link name I want to change which is Philminator, I'm ok with that. It's the displayed name underneath which I thought was business name, but it ends up that was my personal name. I also never got a warning that I would not be able to change it once created. I really thought the name was the business name, otherwise I would have put my name, and not YouTube ><

 

PS: I had my account reverted to a personal account, and it now displays my real name and city where I live. I wish I didn't have to display my last name and the city I live in. Is there a privacy setting for that?
