Sorry, security is tightening up these days with PayPal accounts and you must be able to prove you own this account and the money in it. If the name on the account does not match your documents, then they simply can't lift the limits. Your best bet is to update your nick name to your legal name in the account settings (gear icon) if it'll allow you to.
There are many threads about this in the forums, and this is money we're talking about; why some people decide to use a name that they can't prove is them is beyond thought. It's your money so it should be under your name, not under a fictional name or someone else's name or you risk losing it. And PayPal don't want someone to come to them later and ask, why you gave my money to someone else?
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

The documents you supply have to match your paypal name if they don't then you can't change the name.
You can only change the name for a minor typo or for legal reasons ie marriage.
As you can't do that then your best bet is to ask the person who sent the funds to open a dispute if they can to get their funds back and then send them to you another way.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
