Well, things were largely resolved because a friend who does use paypal did the payments for me, and she also had seen what all the different fields were used for once she had paid her own registration fee. I was very hesitant to sign up when I was unsure of what was going on.
Thanks for your very detailed response though! I think it might be a good idea to add explanations on the payment page, because "Name" and "Badge Name" make it sound like one of them is supposed to be your real name (especially since it's the registration/payment page, so I assumed it had to be my real name for payment purposes).
Sorry for all the trouble! And I guess I'll see everybody in June. :)
