Using a pseudonym while receiving payments from customers?

[Thia96]

So, I am an artist and I would like to use paypal to receive payments for commissioned pieces. However, this would be through my online 'persona' and i would prefer not to use my real name. I have a couple questions.

1. Do I need to create a business account for this? I don't own a business, I just draw for a few bucks.

2. If not, is there any way to have a 'username' or pseudonym show up for the person sending money, on this personal account
