How to Change Your Name on Facebook Without Being Blocked
There are times when you may want to change your name on Facebook. Perhaps you’ve outgrown a childhood nickname. Or you’ve gotten married or adopted and want to update your surname. Unfortunately, Facebook is pretty strict about some of its policies, and the “real name” issue is one of them.

If it’s time to change your name on the social network, here’s what to do.
How to change your name on Facebook

On the desktop, tap the downwards-facing arrow in the upper right. Then, select Settings. Under General, you’ll see your name, username (URL), your contact email, and other information. Click Edit next to “Name.” From there, you can enter in a new first, middle, or last name.

On the app, the process is similar. Tap the Settings button, then select Account Settings. From there, tap General. Select the arrow next to your name, and then you can edit your name on Facebook.
Before you attempt this though, you should familiarize yourself with Facebook’s name guidelines. The name you use on Facebook should be “the name that your friends call you in everyday life,” according to Facebook’s Help section. It shouldn’t include a symbol, number, or “unusual capitalization.” It shouldn’t include characters from different languages. It also shouldn’t include a title (so if you’re a proud Dr., Mrs., or Captain, you’ll have to go without).

You also can’t use a word or phrase instead of a name or include an offensive or suggestive word. The name should match what’s listed on your ID. However, a nickname is OK as long as it’s a variation of your given name—for example, Chris instead of Christopher.

How to Change Your Name on Facebook

Whether you’ve just gotten married, no longer identify with your birth name, or just want to change the overly formal “Robert” to “Rob” on your profile, here’s how to change the name you’re using on Facebook.

Before diving in, it’s worth having a look at Facebook’s names policy. You’re required to use “the name [you] go by in everyday life”, but this gives you a fair amount of flexibility. My name on Facebook is Harry and it’s what everyone calls me, but it’s not the name on my birth certificate.
You also can’t use things like:
Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeating characters or punctuation.
Characters from multiple languages.
Titles of any kind.
Words or phrases in place of a name.
Offensive or suggestive words of any kind.

As long as you don’t use anything too ridiculous, you should be able to change your name to whatever you want without Facebook having a hissy fit. It’s also worth noting, once you’ve changed your name, you won’t be able to change it again for another 60 days.

To change your name on Facebook, head to the Settings screen. You can get to it by clicking on the arrow in the top right corner and then clicking Settings.

Next to Name, click Edit.

You’ll then be able to edit and change your name to whatever you want.

Click Review Changes and then enter your password and click Save Changes.

If you’ve got a nickname, professional name or other name that you don’t necessarily go by in everyday life but want attached to your Facebook profile, click Add Other Names. These other names will help people find you in search, so for example, you’d show up for searches for both your married and maiden names.

Click “Add A Nickname, A Birth Name…”

…and select the kind of name you want to add from the dropdown.

Enter whatever name you want.

If you check the Show at Top of Profile checkbox, the name you choose will be shown in brackets after your Facebook profile name. For example, with this nickname, my Facebook profile would say Harry Guinness (Hazza).

Click Save Changes and the new name will be added to your Facebook profile.

How to Change Your Facebook Name
If you want to change your name on Facebook, the process is pretty straightforward. There are some restrictions that Facebook has long had in place on what you can actually use as your name.
How to Change Your Facebook Name

To change your name, do the following:
Go to Settings.
Under General Account Settings > Name, click Edit.
Enter what you want to use for first name, optional middle name, and last name and click Review Change.
Facebook will prompt you to choose how you want your name to appear.
Make your selection, enter your password, and click Save Changes.

The name change should take effect immediately, but note that Facebook will review it and you may be asked why the change was made. If it doesn’t adhere to the requirements listed below, you may not be able to change it.
Restrictions on Changing Your Facebook Name

So what are these restrictions that Facebook has put in place?
You aren’t able to use any unusual capitalization, punctuation, characters or random words.
You can’t use characters from multiple languages. (But you can enter your name in a non-Latin alphabet if you choose to.)
Don’t include your title.
Don’t use words or phrases in place of a name, including offensive or suggestive words.
Facebook also suggests that you use the name your friends call you in everyday life. Their guidelines specify that the name should appear on an ID or document listed here. The list is flexible enough that some of the documents could potentially include a nickname you use, rather than just your name as it appears on your official ID.
On the topic of nicknames, Facebook actually specifies that they can be used as a first or middle name if they’re a variation of your real name (i.e. Bob instead of Robert).
You can only change your name on Facebook every 60 days.

If you choose a name that requires confirmation, Facebook says you may temporarily lose access to some features while the change is confirmed. That confirmation also requires you to submit a form of ID or mail displaying that name.
