Changing A Facebook Page Name? - Brandon - 07-24-2013 12:00 AM
I am trying to change my Facebook Page's name but when I go to request it it asks "Why do you want to change your Page name?
If you do not select the correct reason for changing your Page name, your request will not be properly processed. Please read all options before submitting to ensure that your request is processed."
And none of the options are why I want to change it. Can I do it anyways?
Thanks for any assistance!

You can only change the name of a Page with fewer than 200 likes. If your page qualifies with 200 likes, then Go to the Page that you wish to change the nameof (you must be an administrator of this Page);
*.Click on “Update Info†at the top of the Admin Panel to go to the “Basic Information†for your Page;
*.You will see the heading “Name†with the current name of your Page indicated, alongside a hyperlink “Request Changeâ€;
*.Click on “Request Changeâ€
It is as simple as providing the details of:
*.Current Page name
*.Desired Page name
*.Why you want to change your Page name
*.Documentation that clearly shows the name and address of your business (e.g. utility or phone bill) to prove your authenticity.
You need to ensure your Page name complies with Facebook’s Page Name Policies. The relevant policies are:
Page names and Facebook WebAddresses must accurately reflect Page content. Facebook may remove administrative rights or require you to changethe Page name and Facebook Web Address for any Page that fails to meet this requirement.
Page names must:
*.Not consist solely of generic terms (e.g., “beer†or “pizzaâ€);
*.Use proper, grammatically correct capitalization and may not include all capitals, except for acronyms;
*.Not include character symbols, such as excessive punctuation and trademark designations; and
*.Not include superfluous descriptions or unnecessary qualifiers.
NOTE: All this only changes the Page name and not the URL (web address). You should try to keep your Page name and Page URL the same as possible and as close to your business name as possible.
