Using a preferred name on Paypal

I know Paypal needs my legal name for obvious reasons but for my paypal.me or other things, is there a way I can use my business name or a preferred name? I don't want to be giving out my legal name to everyone I'm doing business with since it's a security issue and for my own personal discomfort since I hate my legal name.

I have the same issue. There isn’t a way to do it that I’m aware of but I would recommend contacting PayPal via the “Feedback” button at the very bottom of the screen. I’ve done the same thing and I figure if enough people raise the issue with them that they might finally do something about it. The fact that it’s not an option already in 2020 is horrendous to be honest.
