Outside of upwork I use a preferred name (a variation/short form of my legal name), it's the same name that gets listed in credits. I have a portfolio here on upwork where I'm credited by that exact name. But in the upwork guidelines it states that you must use your legal name on the site. So what should I do?

If anyone from upwork staff is reading this please advise.
