Name variant
 

I'm going to use a name variant and wondering if this will be ok (this is not the actual name for privacy just last name and middle name is right)

Real legal name is jack lee
Change to jack ae lee.
adding middle name for name variant?
Or
jack Lei
And say it's mispelling..
Or any suggestions?

And when registering paypal this is name I use right?


I got wells Fargo checking and savings with debit card under jack lee.

Or since this family member name should I just do normal name so it's easy for verification when it happens?
(Yes I know family member names are frowned upon but I asked more times I can count they don't mind)..

I'd go with the variation of the last name and first name like: Jacky Lei, add the middle name while you are at it.

Family names are not REALLY "frowned" upon, it's just that most people abuse it without thinking of the consequences. THey are however delicate.

Ok.. jack is not real first name for privacy.. but just adding middle name and changing last name should be sufficient?

Yeah i don't want to screw my family but I guess they care about my financial situation more so they don't mind.

But anyways, I'm guessing changing family name is also a most cause I know ebay got all the tools to link family members.. (for example I can go on internet right. And it shows my family members name just by searching my name in certain identity sites... quite scary.

I don't want to take chances on something like this. I'd modify both the names a little.

Re: Name variant
 

Modifying first and last name.. but completely not different name so that when it comes to verification there might be actual similarities in my I'd and name variant right? So let's say first name is Chang lee. (Not my real name but close enough).. changing to cheng Lei is good right

I think so. Better changing it based on the guide than doing nothing which will link you later.

Yeah its nice to get support here feel less by yourself. Ebay really screwed small time sellers so guess have to be ninja now.
