Just follow the steps below. Facebook allows you to change the name of a page, your first name, middle name, or last names. If you don&#8217;t want to use the same name as your page, you can appeal the decision. The following are the steps you should follow to change your page&#8217;s name on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_a_pages_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to change a page&#8217;s name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few ways to change the name of your Facebook page. To start, you can click the &#8220;edit&#8221; button on the left side of your page. Under &#8220;About&#8221; you will see a box with an edit button. Click on this box and enter your new name. You will receive a confirmation message that your changes have been made. Your fans will be notified of this change. In some cases, you may need to request additional approval before your name change will be approved.<\/p>\n<p>You can also change the name of your page if you are the admin of the page. Changing the name of your page requires you to log in to your Facebook account. First, navigate to the Settings tab and click on the Page Info section. Then, hover over the Name field and click Edit. Once you have entered your new name, click Continue. Facebook will then approve the change. You should double check the name change within three days.<\/p>\n<p>The name of your Facebook page is important. You need to be careful not to use a generic name that might confuse your audience. Try not to use all capital letters, symbols, or unnecessary punctuation. Your name must be grammatically correct and reflect your brand and services. It should also not contain any generic geographic locations, words, or phrases. You can add more information in the About section of the page if you wish.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_own_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to change your own name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to change your Facebook username, you will need to access the settings of your page. Scroll down to the &#8220;Username&#8221; section, and click &#8220;Edit Page Settings.&#8221; From there, you can change your username to something else. Note that changing your Facebook username makes your old username unavailable, so you will need to choose another one. After that, save your changes. You can also change your profile picture and cover photo.<\/p>\n<p>To change your Facebook username, you must log in to your account. To do this, navigate to your settings menu. Navigate to the General tab. Click &#8220;Change Username,&#8221; then enter a new name. Facebook will verify that you can change your username. Once your change has been approved, click &#8220;Save Changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before making any changes to your Facebook username, follow the steps below. Be sure to read Facebook&#8217;s policies before making any changes. If your desired username is already taken, you can change it within 60 days. If your desired username is already taken, do not despair. You can always try the next best option. If your desired username is already taken, you may have to confirm it to avoid getting hacked. You can also reset your password to use your old Facebook username in case you are unable to access your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_pages_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to change your page&#8217;s name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to change your page&#8217;s name on Facebook. Facebook doesn&#8217;t allow you to change your page&#8217;s name through the API, but you can change it yourself. Just login as the page&#8217;s admin and click on the &#8220;Settings&#8221; link on the top of the page. Go to &#8220;Page Info&#8221; and click on the &#8220;Outside Page name&#8221; box. Then, click &#8220;Request Change&#8221; to submit your new name. Once you have completed the process, Facebook will send an email notification to the list of fans.<\/p>\n<p>The new name will be displayed in search results, but people who search for your page using the old name will see the old title. The new name will be displayed in these results, and over time, Facebook&#8217;s algorithms will learn the difference. After three days, they&#8217;ll display the new name more prominently in search results. However, it&#8217;s still best to check your page&#8217;s name guidelines to make sure you&#8217;re using the right term.<\/p>\n<p>Before you can change your page&#8217;s name on Facebook, make sure you have admin rights. If you don&#8217;t have admin rights, visit your account&#8217;s page to request a change. Click on the arrow icon at the top right corner of your page. Click on &#8220;About&#8221; or &#8220;See more&#8221; in the left pane. Click on &#8220;Edit&#8221; next to the name of your page you wish to change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Username in Facebook If you&#8217;re unhappy with the name of your page, you can easily change it to something else.
