Username
Your user name appears to be a real name. Our user name policy says here:

''Use of a real name allows contributions to be more easily traced to an individual. This may make a contributor more vulnerable to issues such as harassment. You should consider the benefits and drawbacks of making substantial contributions under your real name before doing so, especially if you are interested in editing subjects which may be politically sensitive. While it is possible to rename accounts (see Changing your username), a record of the previous name will still exist.''

Do not edit under the name of a well-known living person unless it is your real name, and you either are'' that well-known person or you make it clear that you are not. Such usernames may be blocked as a precaution.''

''If you have been blocked for using your real name, please don't take offense; we're trying to prevent somebody from impersonating you! You are welcome to use your real name, but in some cases, you will need to prove you are who you say you are. You can do this by sending an e-mail to [mailto:info-en@wikimedia.org info-en@wikimedia.org]; be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is operated entirely by volunteers, and an immediate reply may not be possible.''

If you are happy with using a real name for your account, then I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!
