My friend, Britney, wants to sign up for Facebook, but it wont let her. Helppp?? - Candy - 11-07-2013 07:52 AM

Try adding a middle initial or middle name. Facebook obviously thinks you are trying to use the name of that other person as a Pseudonym.

If this is truly your friend's real name, that's quite unfortunate. Facebook is reading this as fake because of the no-talent singer.
She can get around it in a number of ways:
She can enter her middle name right after her first name (BritneyAnn Spears or even Britney A Spears)
She can change the spelling of Britney for Facebook (Brittney or even Brittany)
She can just use her first and middle initials as a first name (BA) or
She can shorten her name to "Brit" as a first name
Give these ideas a try.
