How to Change Your Name on Facebook So People Can Search Your Maiden or Married Name
So you got married, and now your name on Facebook doesn't relate to your new name. This article will discuss how to change to your married name, and still be able to have people search for you under your former maiden name.
Steps
1. Visit the Facebook website in your web browser. Log in with your username and password, if you haven't stored the information for later use.
2. Click the button marked "Account" in the top-right corner of your Facebook screen, and click the "Account Settings" button from the drop-down list.
3. Click the "Edit" link to the right of the row marked "Name" which displays your former (now maiden) name.
4. Change your name in the "last" name box, to read your new "married" name.
5. Type your full maiden (first and last) name into the "Alternate name" box. The next line labelled "Alternate name" is for your maiden name.For example, if your maiden name is Christina Lee and your married name is Christina Smith, do not type Christina Lee-Smith. Just type "Christina Lee" in this "Alternate name" box.
6. Click the "Save changes" button.
7. Type your current Facebook password in the "Password" box below these entries.
8. Click "Save changes" one more time. It's all done and now people can find you either by your maiden name or your married name.
