Hello,
Paypal requires me to use my full legal name, which in turn appears as the addressee when making purchases. I'm known by my second name and never use my first name. Is there a way to make my name appear only as my middle and last name, as I'm known?
Cheers,

Hi there,
Thank you for your posts and welcome to the Community Forum!
In general, we would need your PayPal account to match your legal name. For this reason, you would not be able to use only your second name and last name, unfortunately. If you have a Business account, you can choose a preferred name from the 'Settings' of your account.
I hope this helps!
Martina
