People change their names on Facebook because of many reasons, such as: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They don\u2019t want to be found on the Internet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They want to separate their professional and personal lives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They changed their name in really life (e.g. after a wedding).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do you change your name? To do this just follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read the rules on names [link]<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click the triangle icon at the top right corner of Facebook and choose Settings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click Name.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter a name and hit Check.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter the password and hit Save Changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes Facebook doesn\u2019t offer the possibility to change your name. In such instances you have to contact Facebook &#8211; their help center will try to help. Remember that you can change your name only 60 days after the last change. So don\u2019t make changes for any light-hearted reasons. You should also remember that every change will make it harder for people to find you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you change your name, all your old material (old tagging, etc.) will still have your old name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/3842881\/a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4\" class=\"hs-cta-img aligncenter\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/3842881\/a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4.png\" alt=\"Start analyzing\u00a0your\u00a0Facebook performance\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(3842881, 'a0f2136a-dccc-40f0-b875-6ae0a8ed96b4', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/resources\/knowledge-base\/facebook\/who-is-on-facebook\/\">Who is on Facebook?<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Who will see my Facebook posts?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/resources\/knowledge-base\/who-will-see-my-facebook-posts\/\">Who will see my Facebook posts?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/resources\/knowledge-base\/how-do-i-delete-my-facebook-account\/\">How do I\u00a0delete my Facebook account?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":695,"template":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to change your name on Facebook? - Sotrender Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Facebook gives you the possibility to change your name or add an additional name (ex: nickname, maiden name) to your account.
