I am sure I speak for many people in saying that there needs to be a preferred name option on PayPal that when used does not show your legal name, or in my case, deadname. I have used my PayPal under my preferred name for some years and only now I am being told to provide documents verifying my identity and home address. I have not taken action due to the fact these documents are all under my dead name. I would rather lose my PayPal account than use my deadname - so many people are caused distress by the fact they cannot opt for a preferred name while using PayPal. I wonder if PayPal cares that people would close their accounts over this? Stop being stuck in the dark ages and offer people the option.
