If the name on the account is not a name that was ever your legal name, it is not likely that a name change will be possible. Names can be changed on an account in the following circumstances:
A legal name change
A minor misspelling
And in the case of an account for a registered business, a change in the designated contact for the company.
Changing from a fictitious name (or, as in your case, a name unrelated to your legal name) to a legally recognized name is not something that is supported. If the account is not currently limited, you may wish to close the account and open an account using the correct information.

There isn't one.
The funds in the account legally belong to the person named on the account and can prove its them by providing legal documents that prove the name on that document matches the name on that paypal account or has been legally changed to that name.
The funds sadly do not belong to you as you do not have that legal name.

Exactly, that person does not exist and so cannot access those funds.
