Kapanlagi.com - Facebook is one of the popular social media platforms in the world. Facebook was initially used only by Harvard students in 2004. In 2006, Facebook services were opened to all users aged 13 and above. Considering its long journey, it is understandable that users are looking for ways to change their FB name.

For those who have never done it before, changing the FB name may seem difficult. However, this can be done by following the applicable rules. In fact, besides personal accounts, you can also change the name of pages and groups, which are also services provided by Facebook.

The reasons behind someone changing their FB name vary. It could be because their real-life name has changed or simply because they are bored with their previous account name. No need to worry, now you can learn how to change the name of your personal FB account, pages, and FB groups in the following information.

 

1. Terms of How to Change FB Name

A Facebook account can be considered as your virtual self. Therefore, you must present yourself as a genuine person by following the following rules before changing your FB name.

According to the official Facebook page, the rules for using names should not include:

- Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeated characters, or punctuation marks.

- Characters from different languages.

- Any titles (e.g., professional, religious).

- Common words or phrases, not names.

- Offensive or suggestive words.

If you have already used a name that complies with the standards but still encounter issues when changing it, find out the reasons in Facebook Help.

Another thing to remember when changing your FB name is:

- The account name should be your everyday nickname from your friends. This name should also be listed on your ID or documents from our ID list. Sometimes we need to use a name other than the one that appears on our ID document from our ID list for certain profiles.

- Nicknames can be used as a first name or middle name if it is a variation of your real name (e.g., Bob for Robert).

- You can also include other names on your account (e.g., nickname, professional name).

- Profiles are for individual use only. You can create Pages for businesses, organizations, or ideas.

- Impersonating anyone or anything is prohibited.
