Renaming your Facebook profile can have various reasons behind it. It could be due to marriage where you adopt a new surname, or you may want to use a nickname that is more familiar among your friends. No matter the cause, the process of changing your Facebook name is straightforward and easy. To assist you, here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it.
Step 1: Navigate to your Profile
The first step is to navigate to your Facebook profile. You can do this by clicking on your profile picture or name, usually located in the top right corner of the Facebook interface.
Step 2: Access the “About” Section
Once you are on your profile page, look for the “About” option in the menu beneath your profile picture. Click on it to be redirected to a page containing all your personal information.
Step 3: Edit your Name
On the About page, find and click the “Edit” button next to your name. This will open a new window where you can edit your first and last name.
Note that Facebook has certain name standards that you must adhere to. These include not using any unusual capitalization, punctuation, characters or random words.
Step 4: Save Changes
After you’ve entered your desired name, click the “Review Change” button. Facebook will ask you to enter your password for security reasons. After entering your password, click on the “Save Changes” button.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed your name on Facebook. Please keep in mind, Facebook has a limit to how many times you can change your name, and once changed, you may not be able to change it back. So be sure about your decision before you make the change.
