i work as an online model where im specifically told to use an alias..i want to use paypal strictly for this site, but if people try to send me money they will see my real name and that is scary for security reasons, such as creepy men knowing my real name. am i allowed to change my public name to my same alias to keep myself safe? will it still let me use paypall if i change my real name that people would see? my bank acct and everything is already confirmed and working.

Your PayPal account name must be your rea name just like you must use your real name for a bank account and drivers license.

If you create a business account you can then have your business name displayed instead of your legal name.  Just make sure the name you select is really the name you use for your business.
