yes you can change your name and heres a simple and easy steps:

You can submit a request to change the name on your Personal account for a typographical error or a legal name change. We're unable to change the name on a PayPal account to a different person's name.

To change the name shown on your account:

Go to Settings.
Next to your name, click Edit.
Click the type of change you want to make and follow the instructions:

Change your legal name.
Update your name.
Make a minor correction. You will be able to fix a typo of 1 or 2 characters only once.

If you're not fixing a typo, you'll be asked to provide documentation to support your name change (i.e. copy of your photo ID and your change of name certificate).

Yes ,you can definitely do it by following certain insturctions:

To change your legal name, you'll need to submit a scan of a government issued photo ID, like a driver's license. ... This might mean a marriage certificate, or a name change court order. Once you send this in, you'll need to wait for PayPal to approve the change.
