Good news it will most likely work. Bad news, you're going to run into troubles, even if you don't do it. People in the DL forums have reported problems with accounts getting termed because they share a name with a family member. It all gets sorted out, but if you already run the risk of an audit do you really want to have a paper trail of shenanigans?
