It looks like someone didn&#x27;t read Paul Grahams essay: Change Your Name[1].<p>As far as the service, I feel inextricably linked to PayPal right now.  I used PayPal through the early Ebay years and while I don&#x27;t have any money in my account; It still pays for my Uber and I have a few friends who haven&#x27;t updated to Venmo yet.  There are also a few items which I&#x27;ve purchased online where I use PayPal as a proxy so the company doesn&#x27;t get my CC info.  I&#x27;ll probably end up setting up an account just to hold my name, but I doubt I&#x27;ll use it much.<p>[1] - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paulgraham.com&#x2F;name.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paulgraham.com&#x2F;name.html</a>
