How do I change my nickname that shows up on my reviews?
Mine isn’t relevant anymore, and I’d simply like to change it to my name.

You don't need to change your alias (nickname). You can just quit using it and, for example, use your Apple ID instead. See the instructions below for changing an Apple ID and information on related aliases. I know you may not want to change your Apple ID, but if you decide to do so, see the last section below.
See Change your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Read these two sections very carefully to see what is allowed and for information about aliases: If your Apple ID is a third-party email address and How to change your Apple ID if it ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.

But are you talking about Using email aliases on iCloud.com https://support.apple.com/en-nz/guide/icloud-ipad/mm6b1a490a/icloud. See the information here about not continuing to use one.

Before changing your Apple ID using a computer, sign out of all Apple services that use your Apple ID. If you are going to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, then stay signed in with your Apple ID on only that device. This instruction is taken from the above document under the heading Before you change your Apple ID.
For sign out purposes, see Where can I use my Apple ID? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659 “This list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice. It's not intended to include every feature or service that uses Apple ID. Visit the Apple ID support page for more information.”
