Facebook did a big crackdown on "fake" names ages ago. I recall being forced to change my account to use my "real" name instead of the one by which most of my friends and acquaintances knew me. Have they given up trying to enforce this?

I made a facebook a couple years ago to buy a tractor from marketplace. They kicked me off in a couple days for not believing my name was authentic. I already had gotten in touch with the seller, so I didn't care.

An entire Facebook, all by yourself?

I don't think they care as much these days, I've seen some absolutely wild fake names recently

Yes, they let you change it now. I think you can only change it every three months or something like that.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
