Hi forum experts,

 

I've set up a facebook page. Atlas, I have named it wrongly and the facebook has existed for quite sometimes it's quite difficult to ask my facebook friends to immigrate to the facebook with the name I want. Though, (sheepishly), I only have about 39 members to-date after 3 years...

 

As it's difficult to find facebook's support regarding this issue, I decided to post my issue here hoping someone has this experience of changing the facebook's name and how to go about doing it.

 

Hope to hear from someone soon.

 

Thank!

Apparently you can only change the name once, and only if it has below 200 likes.

Hi, I'm referring to the name that I want to change; not the user name.

 

I can't find the edit page but I did was click on my edit profile and do it at the general account setting.

 

However, I ended up getting this error:

 

The name contains invalid characters.

 

Now,
the thing is that I do not want to have my personal name appear there
at all so at the Last Name there I just put Country Name and the first
name as my website name.

 

Anybody knows how to resolve this?

 

Finding a way to talk to Facebook support is a pain in the neck....

So you're talking about your personal profile?

 

Facebook won't help you because their rules (that you agreed to) state that you will use your real name.

You can change your name or add an alternate name (ex: nickname or maiden name) to your account. To edit your name:

1. Review our name standards
2. Click in the upper-right corner of any Facebook page and select Account Settings
3. Click General in the left column
4. Look for the Name setting and click Edit to the far right
5. Type in your name and save your changes

Keep in mind:

• To help make sure that everyone uses their real name, we limit the number of times you can change your name.
• If you weren't able to change your name, we may be able to help.

Its easy to change your facebook name.

You can change also your facebook page url only once in this section

 

but if you have changed it already than you cant change your facebook page url.

Changing your facebook name is so easy method and you can only change your fb account's url for once.

It's very simple way as you can do it with going into setting and there you will find the option i have myself done it recently.

It is a very simple process completed within a few steps.

For changing the facebook account name to other name follow these steps:

click in the top right of facebook and select account settings then click on general

Look for the Name setting and click Edit to the far right.

Type in your name and save your changes.

If you're referring to your url or username, it's possible to change it but only once so be careful when picking an appropriate name.

It seems you want to change your facebook url from facebook.com/existingurl to facebook.com/newurl , unfortunately it is not possible, you can select your facebook url only once.

You can only change a username once. Usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period ("."), and must have five or more characters.
While you might come across short usernames, at this time only usernames of five or more characters are generally available. Please note, periods (".") and capitalization don't count as a part of a username: johnsmith55, John.Smith55 and john.smith.55 are all considered the same username.

 

If you have any further questions, please visit the username section of the Help Center:http://www.facebook.com/help/username

Unfortunately, Facebook allows you to change username only once and you can change the name of page once too if you have less than 200 likes.

To edit your name:

1. Review the name standard
   
2. Click down arrow on right top of Facebook
   
3. select setting
   
4. click on name
   
5. Enter your name
   
6. click on review change
   
7. Enter your password
   
8. save all the changes made by u.
   

Facebook has its forums and support. On forums people are more available and happy to help than on support. Try getting an answer there.

if you can change name, then it will be done only for 1-2 times not more then that. so be careful while choosing any name.
