As you would never be able to verify that account as you can't provide legal documents to prove its your legal name then sadly not a lot you can do about it.

You could try opening a paypal account in your legal name and then IF you have funds in that account contacting customer services to see if they will transfer the funds over for you, it may or may not work.

OR you could ask the people that sent you the funds IF you have funds in your account to do a dispute to get a refund and then pay you to your new account?
