How can I make a change to my facebook name? - Jan M - 03-31-2014 07:22 PM

I want to add my maiden name in brackets behind my surname in facebook. The only editing I can see as possible is to the information about me, i.e. profile. How can I edit my name?

Go to your general settings next to your name click edit.

You can change it from the settings option u can see on the top right corner of the page which appears as a nut-bolt like icon. From there u probably may have to go to a/c settings and rest u can do urself.

AAP should provide good candidates in Maharashtra, Odisha, UP and West Bengal as soon as possible. High Demand. Good Luck!?

It is dead simple

You can just go to account settings, go to general, then add in your alternate name so that you can see your name in brackets

The names that are in your bracket is called alternate name
