Hello! I wanted to have my actual name hidden while accepting payment, but it won't let me, when I go to manage my name, it only lets me change my legal name, it won't give me the option to add a nickname or anything...

You can't have a nickname on a legal, financial paypal account.

If you do then you won't be able to withdraw funds from it and it will be perma-limited.
