It will also cover how to change your name on mobile devices. Whether you&#8217;re trying to change the name of your business page or just your personal account, this article will help you make the necessary changes. The first step in changing your name on Facebook is to log in to your account. Click on &#8220;Settings&#8221; on the top right corner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_a_business_pages_name\"><\/span>Changing a business page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing a business page&#8217;s name is a simple process on Facebook. First, you need to log into your Facebook account. From the home screen, locate the small blue arrow. Choose &#8220;About&#8221; or &#8220;See more&#8221; from the list. Next, click &#8220;Edit name&#8221; next to the name you want to change. Facebook will review your request and notify you. If you need more help, check out the help center.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can edit the name of your business page by changing the category and subcategory that it falls under. You can also change the page name by clicking on the name text box. This process does not affect your vanity URL. Once you have made the change, you should update your name to the new category. But make sure to use the new name for your business page that matches the new category.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_personal_name\"><\/span>Changing your personal name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing to know about modifying your name on Facebook is that there are some restrictions regarding what you can type in the field. You are not allowed to use titles, words with odd capitalization, or words that contain unusual punctuation. It is also prohibited to use words with offensive connotations. However, this is not the end of the story. There are ways to change your name to match your persona. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>First, go to your account&#8217;s General Account Settings and find the Edit button next to your name. Choose a name that is easy to pronounce. Avoid using multiple languages or names that are hard to understand. Changing your name to something less familiar can make it more difficult for friends and family to contact you. Also, you should make sure that your new name matches your name on your government ID. Doing so will help prevent your account from being hacked.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_Facebook_pages_name\"><\/span>Changing your Facebook page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, log in to Facebook and go to the Pages menu. Click on Edit Page Info. You will see a text box where you can enter a new name for your page. When you click &#8220;Confirm Change,&#8221; a pop-up dialog box will appear. If you are sure you want to change your page&#8217;s name, you can click the &#8220;Yes&#8221; button to proceed. This change may take a few days.<\/p>\n<p>To change your page&#8217;s name, go to the settings of your page. Click &#8220;See More&#8221; or &#8220;About&#8221; to change the role of your page. You can change your role if you are the page admin. You can also change the name of your page by editing your settings. Once you have changed the name, you should have a confirmation message. If you don&#8217;t see this message, it means your page was created by someone else.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_Facebook_username\"><\/span>Changing your Facebook username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that your Facebook username has changed over the years. If so, you may want to change it. However, if you do not want your old username, you can change it by using one of the following methods. First, log in to your Facebook account. Next, go to Settings&gt;General&gt;Privacy and security. If you are using a public profile, you should check to see if your desired username is available.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid being banned for using a username that is similar to someone else&#8217;s, you should use a unique username. Facebook will not allow you to use another person&#8217;s username without their consent. It is also important to choose a username that is not offensive or impersonating. For this, you should try to use a combination of your first and last name or your initials. If this is not possible, you can use the username of your friend or relative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change My Facebook Name If you want to change the name of your Facebook account, this article will walk you through the process step-by-step.
