Hi curvyclarice,
Welcome to our Community 🙂
This is a tricky one. As PayPal is an online bank, we would usually require you to create your personal account with your legal name.
Please try not to worry though. Mistakes happen and our specialists would normally ask you to close this personal account and open a new account using our business sign-up flow instead. That way, you can have your business name on the new account and your personal name as the point of contact for the business.
I hope that makes sense and if you need any further assistance with this, why don't you reach out to us directly on Facebook or Twitter?
We are available 24/7 to answer private messages sent through our Facebook page (http://goo.gl/4BO8de) and respond swiftly to any tweets directed towards @AskPayPal!
