It appears you have no position do it:
To hold a copyright under common law, certain pre-requisites have to be met. First the idea, book, writing, etc., must be a person's own creation. This is termed intellectual or literary property. An idea or writing that one person solely possesses must be of their own original creation. Secondly, the idea or writing must be UNPUBLISHED to assume a common law copyright. Third, it must be in a tangible form to identify and express. Your name fits none of the common law requisites. You did not originate your name, your name is not unpublished, and it is not intellectual property which can be sold, transferred, or traded.
