How To Change Your Name On Facebook

Facebook allows you to change your name, this is helpful if you get married and change your last name or want to protect your privacy and use, say, your middle name as your last name. Keep in mind, you can only change your name once every 60 days so it's important to be confident in your new name change and not want to change it back in a couple days. There's no way to change your name before the 60 days or without waiting as Facebook captures a timestamp of when you changed your name last. Also, you are required to put in a last name so you can't have one word for your name. One thing to note, if you change your name, it will apply to your profile but also it will change it on any business page or page you follow and comment on.
