How do I stop YouTube from asking for my full name?

This is really annoying. I can't watch a video (including mine), comment, etc. because of it. I will not pick from the two options "Same name" or "Different name". There is often no "Ask me later" button, but it shows "Why is this important" and clicking it will link me to a page which encourages me to use my real name. I don't want to use my real name for privacy reasons, and the fact that people already know me in the internet using SlurExe97 as my name. Please help, thanks.

Update:

Matt: Separate what accounts? I only have Youtube, Gmail, and Google Sites.

    If you select the Different name option it will simply separate your accounts, it's not asking you to change your name, but merely allowing you to keep your real name, and your username separate. So Just select Different Name.
