Here are a few tips. These steps will help you change your first, middle, or last name on Facebook. After you change the name on Facebook, you can also appeal the decision to keep the original name. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully, and you&#8217;ll have a name that you&#8217;re proud of. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can choose another name for the account.<\/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&#8217;re sick of the same old username you&#8217;ve used for so long on Facebook, you can change your name without contacting Facebook&#8217;s customer support team. Simply change your name on Facebook&#8217;s settings page, then click the Save Changes button to save the changes. Your new name should be visible right away. Some names take longer. If your new name is not immediately visible, you can wait a few days and then click Save Changes again to see the new name.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some rules and guidelines for changing your name on Facebook. If you change your name more than 60 days after you initially registered, you can&#8217;t change it back. You also can&#8217;t use unusual characters, punctuation, and titles. Also, you can&#8217;t impersonate anyone or use a name that contains a word that&#8217;s illegal in your country. If you change your name too often, the process may fail because of a name match proof.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_Facebook_page_name\"><\/span>Change your Facebook page name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your Facebook page name, you will first need to log in as the administrator of the page. You will then need to input the name you want to use for your page. Keep in mind that you cannot change the name of your page if the current one is taken or if it is too similar to another page. If you are unsure whether the name you want to use is available, check with Facebook for details. Alternatively, you can ask your fans to approve the new name.<\/p>\n<p>After you have created a Facebook page, you can begin the process of changing its name. Changing the name will require some time, as it will take up to three days for the change to be approved. Also, once approved, you cannot change the name of your page for seven days. You should also consider changing the page&#8217;s username before making changes to your page name. However, you should remember that changing your name can affect your page&#8217;s visibility &#8211; if your fans see it as something other than what it&#8217;s supposed to be, you should change it immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_Facebook_username\"><\/span>Change your Facebook username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have been thinking of changing your Facebook username but are unsure where to begin, follow these steps. First, log in to your Facebook account. If you are using a standard username, enter your current one and click the Change Username button. Once you have made your change, Facebook will check to see if the new username is available. If not, select a new one. If you have any questions, contact Facebook&#8217;s support team.<\/p>\n<p>Next, navigate to the settings tab on the top-right corner of the page. Click the triangle at the top-right corner. This will take you to the General Account Settings page. Click &#8220;Edit username&#8221; in the box that appears. A preview of your new name will appear on your profile. If your desired name is not available, click &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; to confirm the change. Then, log in to Facebook again and choose a new username.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_Facebook_group_name\"><\/span>Change your Facebook group name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you first launch a Facebook group, you can change the name anytime, up to 28 days after the launch date. However, you cannot make any changes to the name of your group once it is more than 28 days old. Before you can change the name, you must first update the Facebook app, clear your cache, and log in to your account. If the problem still persists, report the issue. A good Facebook group name answers the questions &#8220;who, what, and why.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A good reason to change your group name is because your goals will probably change as the number of members increases. By changing the name, you&#8217;ll help realign the members of your group with your new focus and avoid having to create another group altogether. You should also keep in mind that changing the name will have no negative consequences for your group&#8217;s members. But make sure to save your changes, and then change the name again if you need to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Edit Facebook Name Are you curious about how to edit Facebook name?
