Why can't I change my name on Facebook?

 

View Your Account Settings

You can edit your name and other info on your Facebook account in your settings.

Facebook is a community where people use the name they go by in everyday life. This way, you always know who you're connecting with. You may be having trouble changing your name if:

• Your name doesn't follow our name policy
• You changed your name in the last 60 days, or you tried to change it too frequently
• You were previously asked to confirm your name on Facebook
• Your name doesn't exactly match the name that appears on something from our ID list

If you want to limit the audience who sees the name you go by in everyday life on your Facebook Profile, you can adjust your Privacy Settings.
