How To Change Your Name On Facebook

Facebook allows you to change your name, this is helpful if you get married and change your last name or want to protect your privacy and use, say, your middle name as your last name. Keep in mind, you can only change your name once every 60 days so it's important to be confident in your new name change and not want to change it back in a couple days. There's no way to change your name before the 60 days or without waiting as Facebook captures a timestamp of when you changed your name last. Also, you are required to put in a last name so you can't have one word for your name. One thing to note, if you change your name, it will apply to your profile but also it will change it on any business page or page you follow and comment on.

Very helpful and straight forward ❣️ Thank you very much👍

[@gambel0075]

Finally clear concise information with great narration without the loud obnoxious background sounds.
Please make more informative videos.

[@bernardpeel7133]

Thanks Lindsay. Once name has been changed, should we do some form of ID verification (to preempt FB shutting down the account in order to force an ID verification)?

[@firstfix1870]

as always, thanks for a brief how to video

[@kellygirls]

Thanks for your help!👍🏻😃👌🏻

[@vteamparanormal2224]

Hi ! Thank you so much for the narration in your Video’s so helpful.. I want to change my Facebook page name but I was wondering if I have to use my real name on Facebook .. I want to use my UA-cam channel name? If I can only use my real name can I just change the spelling of my first name on my Facebook page ? Thank you and a Have a great day!

Thank you, it really helpful

[@Ghostly_writer]

TYSM! I was being stupid and thought that when they asked my real name, it was for personal reasons. Not for people to see! So put in a fake last name... Instead of putting the name i wanted.

[@collegegrads]

Awesome job..it’s works like a charm Linsey ❤

[@ffnargisff8180]

So how do you change your name if you already confirmed with facebook a previous name? There is no option for name change for me because i confirmed with ID my current name.

[@joycuttiegirl5830]

Thank you this video really helped me

[@HaiderArif-fy7lo]

Guys, I have a question does your Facebook name have to be in the same language as your ID Card because my name in my ID is in Arabic but I wrote it on Facebook in English, is that ok? In case this happens and my account got locked one day?

[@Utondurosy]

[@josephboyden5923]

I have tried changing the name tons of times and it keeps saying that "Creating Content with this Name is not allowed". It gives me another option, and I put the option it wants me to try and it still doesn't work. What do I do? My new name will be ChuckRack, but I've tried many things and don't know why it won't work

[@ayeshakhan4627]

So can i change it after 60 days, if I have already changed it????
