Display names now?

If the channel is linked to a personal Google+ profile you'll probably need to have Firstname Lastname. If it's linked to a page as new channels tend to be these days, it can be a single name like you want. Might depend on how you have it linked. Since my channel is one of the "new" types that is connected to G+ by default it is linked to a page instead of a personal profile and I have the single box.

So if I linked it wrong is there a way for me to fix it?

You used to be able to unlink an account from G+, but I'm not sure you still can at this point and I think you were only able to switch it to the Google+ profile attached to your account.

I think the only real options would be to either A) beg and kiss Google's a** somehow, or B) new channel if you want the proper name-changing feature.

And if create a new YouTube it you can't use that url. Even if you delete the channel you can't use that url again.

You linked it to a Google+ profile not a business page. I think there might be a way to link a business page I'm not sure, just go nuts and look in every setting and menu you can find. You can try this: http://yttalk.com/threads/link-google-and-keep-your-youtube-username-guide-info.88314/ it's old so I'm not sure if this method still works and I can't try as the links have already been done.
