How I Changed My Facebook Business Page Name
How I changed my Facebook Business Page Name
Posted at 11:15h in Social Media Marketing

I started a Facebook page for my business many years ago. I had spent thousands of dollars running ad campaigns and gaining likes. My business was part of a worldwide franchise, so I was using their brand in my Facebook Page Name (which I recommend you don’t do, I found out it can be hard to change!).
When branching out on my own, I wanted to keep the page, and the thousands of followers I had gained through my campaigns and years of running my business. I thought it would be simple enough, follow the Facebook Help instructions and simply request a name change.

Here are the instructions on Facebook to change your page name.
How do I change my Page’s name?
You’ll need to be an admin to request a change to your Page’s name.
To request a change to your Page’s name:
Click About on the left side of your Page
Click Edit Page Info
Enter a new Page name and click Save Changes
Review your request and click Request Change
Seems simple enough, right?
I soon found out… not so simple!

Every time I requested a new name, it would be rejected. After 3 attempts I decided to reach out to my network of professionals in the digital marketing/web space and even they were not sure what to do. Facebook make it extremely hard to change your page name, and even harder to contact someone to find out why!
I turned to Google for answers and I found all sorts of info on the web…

“Unfortunately it’s not as simple as that. In fact, for those of us with over 200 ‘likes’, changing your Facebook Page name is not an easy task. The Facebook Help Centre doesn’t provide much assistance either, with the only answer to changing your name being that, well, you can’t. This is clearly a big problem for businesses that have spent time and effort building their fan base. Indeed, many businesses I have spoken to have had to create an entirely new page from scratch and while they can ask existing fans to ‘like’ the new page, the conversion rate of an attempt such as that is slim”

How to sign in Facebook Page
I came across another article on the www.paperstreet.com blog.
The title of the article and the very first sentence had me hooked!
It’s easier than you think
“Updating information on your Twitter and Facebook page is generally pretty easy”
only to be disappointed as a read on that this person didn’t have the secret formula either!

“Changing your business name on your Facebook page usually requires approval from Facebook before it can take effect. Your claim may be denied if the proposed new name is not close enough to the current name or violates any of their page guidelines. If your Facebook page has not been used and has very few likes, the easiest thing may be to create a new page with the new name. However, this is never recommended for active pages with a large amount of likes and engagement.

For more information on how to change your page name, check out Facebook’s support section.”
Well that was disappointing!
I had resigned myself to the fact that they were not going to let me change the name of my page and I decided to just start over. I set up a new Facebook Page using my new company name, it was disappointing but I didn’t think I had any other options.
A Breakthrough!

Although I had already set up a new page and I was migrating my followers from my old Facebook page to my new Facebook page as best as I could (not easy). I decided it was still worthwhile to try and work out how to change the name of my previous page, as I could still benefit from the years of hard work, not to mention the money I had spent gaining likes.

I am not one to give up easily so I started doing more research, I even contacted other Facebook page owners that had successfully changed their name, only to learn that they had gone through weeks of rejection and had no ‘secret formula’. It just seemed that they lucked it!

I just kept trying different names, and then one day… it happened. They allowed the change! I have no idea why, I cannot tell you what the secret formula was, all I can say is that sometimes persistence pays off.

I recommend you just keep making requests until you get approved. Of course, you will need to come up with a dozen or so acceptable new names, so you can try different variations.

As the saying goes, “The squeaky wheel gets the oil” and in my case, I think my repetitive requests is what got me the name change in the end. Hopefully you don’t have to put in as many requests as I did (9 in total) but if that what it takes I guess it’s what you’ll have to do! Good Luck

Cheers,

Edit name on Facebook
A number of Native Americans have objected to Facebook's inquiries into their names, and to Facebook's request that they provide proof of identification or other documentation in order to use the service.Native American activists claimed to be planning to file a class action lawsuit against Facebook regarding the 'real name' policy.
Japanese

In 2008, a woman in Japan named Hiroko Yoda had her Facebook account suspended over her surname, which is common in Japan, being confused with a Star Wars character of the same name.
Irish[]

The Dublin branch of the Irish language rights group, Misneach, started a Change.org online petition to demand the right to use Irish names on Facebook and protested outside Facebook's European headquarters in Dublin on October 7, 2015.
Scottish Gaelic[]

In 2015, one Gaelic-speaking retired policeman won the right to use his Gaelic name on Facebook, even though it was not his legal name. Some Scottish Gaelic surnames, such as NicIllAnndrais, contain more than two capital letters and are still disallowed by Facebook.
Chamoru

In the Spanish-influenced indigenous Chamoru culture of the Marianas, the standard naming convention has historically been for a person to use their mother's maiden name as their middle name. (Chamoru culture, having been colonized by Spain, went through a period where indigenous names and naming conventions were forcibly eradicated and replaced by what the conquering Spanish deemed acceptable.) Furthermore, using one's full name rather than simply the first and last is commonplace, if only for disambiguation purposes due to a relatively small pool of surnames. Therefore, middle names such as De Leon Guerrero and De La Cruz are frequently encountered. However, attempting to register such names as one's middle name results in a message telling users that "Names can't have too many words." Therefore, many Chamoru users are forced to either run all of the words together as if they were one single word, or to initialize each word to a common acronym such as DLG or DLC.

In cases where the acronym is employed, Facebook automatically changes to lower-case all letters except the first. (Use of periods, e.g. D.L.G., will result in a message telling users that "Profile names can't have too many periods.") Therefore, someone commonly known in real life by a name such as Mary De Leon Guerrero Mafnas would have to resort to using what on Facebook would end up being "Mary Dlg Mafnas". The message is not accompanied by an option to challenge/appeal the restriction or to send Facebook documentation that the format is how one normally formats their name in real life.

In January 2015, a 23-year-old Australian bank employee claiming to be named Phuc Dat Bich posted a photo of his passport identification page to Facebook, protesting that the company had unfairly shut down his account for being "false and misleading"."Is it because I'm Asian? Is it?" he asked. The BBC reported that in Vietnamese the name is pronounced similarly to "Phoo Da Bi" (IPA:  After his reinstatement, Bich posted a thank you note to supportive Facebook fans, stating he was "glad and honoured to be able to make people happy by simply making them laugh at something that appears outrageous and ridiculous". Subsequently "Phuc Dat" published a further message admitting it was a hoax.

4 Steps to Change Your Facebook Page Name
You need to change your business’s Facebook name? It happens.
It used to be pretty difficult to do that, but with Facebook’s more recent changes, it really takes only about four steps to change your Facebook name and URL.
How to Change Your Facebook Page Name
1. Click “Edit”
While viewing your page as an admin, click on the About tab in the upper left side of the page, then click Edit. That’s right next to your page’s current name.
2. Type It
Related Posts:
Once you've clicked into the Account Name box, type in your page's new name.
Make sure that your new name doesn’t break any of these Facebook naming dos and don’ts:
Don’t use any variation of “Facebook” in your name.
Don't include your company slogan in your name.
Don’t use random capitalization that would make your elementary school teacher cringe.
Do be specific with your name.
Do avoid misleading terms or words.
Don’t choose words that can be discriminatory, violating, or abusive.

3. Submit It

After you’ve typed in your new name, click Continue. If you don’t see this option, double-check to make sure that you're listed as a page admin. Other page roles aren't able to change Facebook page names. You can change those settings by clicking on Settings and then Page Roles on the left.

If you’re an admin and you still don’t see the Continue option, double-check to make sure that someone didn't try to change the name within the past few days.

There is no limit to how many times you can change your page's name, just so long as those changes are spaced about seven days apart.
4. Sit Tight

It usually doesn’t take Facebook very long to approve of a name change.

If there’s a delay of a day or two, it might be worth your time to reach out to Facebook and make sure there’s nothing standing in the way on your end.
