Is there a way to change your name on Facebook?

Is there a way to change the name when converting a Facebook profile to a business page?

  • I am helping my dad get his small business profiles on Facebook converted to business pages. When they were set up the store names had to be compressed so that they would work with the format for profiles. I used the profile to page conversion tool on Facebook but it won't let me edit the name of the business even though it is similar. I want it to be Barbour by David Wood rather than Barbourby DavidWood. Anyone know a work around?

  • Answer:

    Your dad needs a profile in order to have a page and he can't name his page until he has have obtained 25 fans. Tell your dad to send a private message to every friend on his profile asking them to "like" his page. (It is also possible to sent "like" suggestions en masse but it is not recommended as it is considerably less effective than one on one. Once your pop hits 25, he'll be able to claim the domain and keep the name.

Hi, if you have more than 200 likes on your page you can not change name. So the solution is change the profile name similar to your business,before converting the page. Anothe method is, convert your page into local business. Then ask 15 of your friends to give suggest edit for the required page name. Once 15 people have suggested the same name, you will get an option on your admin panel, to change your page name to the suggested one.
