Submit a ticket and see, word of warning, they usually don't unless its something that needs to be changed (offensive, copyright, etc...)

The only way to change your display name is to buy a new account. They'll only change an existing account if it's a security problem, such as being your full name. They don't like to do it because it's a mess, and even when they do change it, your old name can still be seen. The only other exception is if it violates the rules, but you don't get a choice and they usually make a joke out of it.

Even when it's your personal last name, they won't.

 

Source: I submitted a request with proof that my display name is my irl last name and I got refused.

No one would know that if it wasn't posted, though.

Yes, policy is that a Display Name will only be changed for a major security risk (full name or email address, etc.), or for an inappropriate name (and that has become much more lax in recent years).
