Hi
When i opened my account i opened it using my nickname. But recently was made to verify my accountas it was locked and i couldnt use any of my money. Now my Full name is displayed on my account and not just my Nickname. I feel like this is a security issue and dont want my name displayed but cannot change it back as it is asking for proof of ID.

You have to have your legal name on your legal, financial Paypal account.
Normally you can't change a nickname to a legal name unless it was an abbreviated version of your legal name so if you changed it your lucky.
