This includes first and middle names as well as your last name. Facebook also offers an appeals process if you want to change your name and get the decision reversed. To learn more, keep reading. Here are some helpful tips to edit your name in Facebook. And remember, it&#8217;s not that hard to change it. If you&#8217;re not satisfied with it, you can always change it later &#8211; it is a process!<\/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>Changing your name on Facebook is possible if you&#8217;ve changed your name legally or if you&#8217;ve made an error. However, the process isn&#8217;t always as straightforward as it sounds. Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide to help you get started. After you&#8217;ve chosen a new name, Facebook will confirm the change. If you&#8217;re not satisfied with the result, you can appeal. This is important to note before making the change.<\/p>\n<p>After legally changing your name, you may want to update your profile with your new name. If you&#8217;ve married, for example, you may wish to change your name on Facebook to reflect your new spouse&#8217;s surname. Or perhaps you&#8217;ve got married and want to legally change your name on your social networking site. Facebook lets you update your name on its website and mobile app for 60 days. You can also change the way your name is displayed on your profile.<\/p>\n<p>To change your name on Facebook, you must log into your account. Click on the menu button on the top right corner and select Settings &amp; Privacy. On this screen, you should click on Personal Information. Scroll down to the section that reads &#8220;General Account Settings&#8221; and click on the Edit Name option. Once you&#8217;ve completed the change, click on Save to apply it to your profile. Alternatively, you can also enter something that isn&#8217;t your real name into the field.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_business_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Change your business name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to change your business&#8217;s name on Facebook is to create a new page. You will need admin rights to make this change. Click the arrow icon in the upper-right corner of the page. Then click &#8220;About&#8221; or &#8220;See more.&#8221; Find the name you&#8217;d like to change, and click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; link. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. If you don&#8217;t have any admin rights, you can still change your name on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>If your business is not listed under your name on Facebook, it&#8217;s easy to change it. Facebook allows you to change the name of your page, but you have to get the permission of the page administrator. Once you have permission to change the name, you can change the contact information. Be sure to notify your customers of the change to ensure that they&#8217;re aware of the change. Sometimes the new name may not show up in newsfeeds, so it&#8217;s important to update your information.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, you won&#8217;t be able to change the name of your page on Facebook. You can, however, request to change it. Facebook will review your request and notify you as soon as it&#8217;s approved. You can also check the name of your page at the help center. If you want to change your business name on Facebook, you can find more detailed information on the process in the help center. Make sure to follow the steps carefully, because if you do it wrong, it can make your name more ambiguous.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_group_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Change your group name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do you change your group name on Facebook? There are a few simple steps that will guide you through the process. First, you will need to login to Facebook with your username and password. Then, select &#8220;Group Settings&#8221; and click &#8220;Change Group Name.&#8221; Once you have changed the group name, you will receive an automatic notification on your Facebook profile. Once you&#8217;re finished, just click &#8220;Done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the left-hand side, click &#8220;Group Settings.&#8221; Tap the drop-down menu and select &#8216;edit group settings&#8217;. Once you&#8217;ve selected a new name, tap &#8216;Save&#8217; in the upper-right corner. On the group&#8217;s cover photo, you can also see the name as a post. Change it to your liking. The name will be updated immediately. The name will appear as a link in your cover photo and on your timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created your group, click on the shield-shaped icon in the top-right corner to access its group settings. Select the name you&#8217;d like to give the group. Click on the &#8220;save&#8221; option in the upper-right corner of the group settings window. If you&#8217;d like to schedule posts in advance, use social media scheduling tools to automate your posts. While you&#8217;re at it, take note of any comments your group members may leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Edit Your Name in Facebook You can edit your name in Facebook if you want to change the name on your profile.
