I don't see how they coiuld ban by name alone. Same name + same area, or same name + same items for sale, perhaps. But unless your name is totally unique, there is likely to be more than one of you.
Having said that, however, we are talking about eBay/PayPal. So, you waill want to make sure that NOTHING ELSE about that account is the same. I would make sure to use a different bank, internet provider, sell different items, COMPLETELY different password, etc.
Others may have different experiences, but I sucessfully used my real name for a second eBay account when my first was banned. I used a dial-up connection in a different state, etc. Everything was different. And, I took it SLOW. I can only say that it worked for me.
