Could I get in trouble for using a fake name?

Well, my real name is Jimmy and I don't really like it.
I'd much rather prefer James, but since Jimmy is a nick-name of the name James, could I just sign with James instead?
I'd had to go through the trouble of doing all the papers work since I own a few businesses and other stuff.

That's what i intend to do, I was just wondering if I could get in trouble for that.
Also, I figured why do that if James and Jimmy goes hand in hand?

All my Sigs are signed differently (I'm not too consistent ), I think if its a signature the name can be whatever. I mean I use plenty of fake names but I think my signature has to be one specific name other wise it wouldn't be much of [i]my[/i] signature.

I just meant signature wise, and having people call me James.
then when it came to paper work, i'd use my real name, but still sign with James.

@MmmmmHmm
Well, the paper work is rather long and time consuming.

Oh, really?
How old are you if I may ask?
I've been signing my name w/ Jimmy ever since I knew how to write.
But it looks terribly ugly for a signature.
