Can I register a paypal account? Is it okay to use a nickname? Is there any risk in every transaction and receiving money from friends? Help me. Thanks a lot.

You have to use your legal name on a legal financial paypal account.

If you use a nickname then when you come to receive / withdraw / provide i.d. / verify your account it would be permanently limited with no access to those held funds. Not a great idea really.
