You may re-appeal with additional information, if you have not already done so. If you’re already using Google+, your current name will continue to be used.

You have a name change under review.
Thank you for submitting your name change for review. Reviews are typically completed within a few days. If your name change is in compliance with the Google+ Names Policy, your profile will be updated. If not, your current name will continue to be used.
At all times, you can continue to make full use of Google+ and all other Google products.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
Just in case, you need to submit “Proof of an established identity online with a significant following” (see “Google+ Page and Profile Names“), such as web-pages where you are known under this name.
