Changing your Facebook name will not only help you differentiate your profile from others, but will also increase security. If your last name is widely known, people may not be able to find you. Also, changing your Facebook name may result in the restriction of your account. Here are some tips to make this transition as easy as possible. Keep reading to find out how you can change your name on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Change your name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your name on Facebook, you&#8217;re not the only one. You can also change your nickname or birth name. Just make sure you don&#8217;t violate the Facebook rules &#8211; otherwise, your profile may get banned. However, you&#8217;re allowed to make changes to your name only once every 60 days. To change your name, follow the steps below. Scroll down if Facebook doesn&#8217;t like your new name.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll want to ensure that your new name is not offensive. Facebook will reject any name that contains offensive words or punctuation. For example, you can&#8217;t change your name if you&#8217;re a musician. But don&#8217;t worry, this isn&#8217;t a problem if your name is just your name &#8211; there are several ways you can change it. But make sure that it&#8217;s easy to remember.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Register_with_a_single_name\"><\/span>Register with a single name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Indonesia, it&#8217;s perfectly acceptable to register with a single name. Single-name registration on Facebook is legal for Indonesians. It&#8217;s not unusual for prominent people, such as Sukarno or Suharto, to use a single name. In fact, many famous people have used only their first names on Facebook. So, how do Indonesians register with single names? Read on to discover the steps.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need to log into your Facebook account with your username and password. You can do this from any web browser or Facebook mobile app. After logging in, select the Settings tab and scroll down to the language selection. You&#8217;ll need to confirm the name change before you can change your language. If you previously changed your Facebook name within the past 60 days, you will need to change it back to English.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed the steps, you can create your Facebook account using a single name. While it&#8217;s important to use a complete name, you don&#8217;t need to use it every time. Hide your last name if you&#8217;d prefer. The algorithm on Facebook understands this and will accept your account if you&#8217;re removing your last name. You must prove that you&#8217;re the real owner of the account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_last_name\"><\/span>Hide your last name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide your last name in Facebook for various reasons. Some people want to remain anonymous. They want to use Nick names or short names. In either case, you can use this function to remove your last name from Facebook. However, if you&#8217;re not in a rush or are not interested in removing your name, there are a few other ways to hide it. Below are some ways to hide your last name in Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Change your name on Facebook: First, go to Facebook&#8217;s settings and select your language as Indonesian. For example, if you&#8217;re from Indonesia, you can choose to change your name to &#8220;Jomo&#8221;. Alternatively, if you live in the United States, you can select a country like Indonesia and hide your last name. But remember that if you don&#8217;t want your name to be publicly available, you have to use a VPN to hide your last name on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_to_a_single_name\"><\/span>Switch to a single name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your Facebook name to make it more distinct from others. You can do this in the general settings. Make sure you change the language settings to English. You cannot change the language if you&#8217;ve already changed your name within the past 60 days. However, if you&#8217;d like to switch back to your original name, you can do so. If you&#8217;d like to change your Facebook name to a single one, there are a few steps that you need to take to make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must log in to your Facebook account. Then, go to settings &gt; privacy &amp; security&gt; general information. Choose your desired name, and click &#8220;Change name&#8221;. In the Privacy settings, you can also change the language and remove your last name. Once you&#8217;ve done this, click &#8220;Save&#8221; to make changes. Now, you can change your name as you wish. Make sure to upload a photo that shows you by your real name. If your request is approved, you&#8217;ll notice that your name is now displayed in your profile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Name on Facebook Are you considering changing your name on Facebook?
