Can I edit my name on FB without creating a new account?

Asked by janbb (62881points) January 1st, 2011

(Moi – asking a FB question!) I did not incorporate my “maiden” name when I created my FB account and no one from my earlier days has found me (or maybe they did and are ignoring me.) I would like to add it – either with my “married” name in the middle or at the end. Any suggestions as to how to do this and if I should leave it in the middle or at the end? Also, I was known as “Janet” for many years and now use “Jan.” Should that effect people finding me?

Sure can..

Go to Account > Account Settings > Name (change)

Go to “Account” in the upper right.

Click on “Account Settings” in the drop down.

Click “Change” above your real name.

Edit: @MissAnthrope is mighty fast. :)
