FB won't let me change my surname. Can I close account &then create new one using same email address as before?

How long should I wait until I can sing up using same email address?
I don't care if I lose my old FB as I only had for a few months
Thanks!
how long should I have it inactive until I create a new FB with same email address?? or do you recommend to use any other email address and later in the year change the email address?? Thanks!!

You will need to make it inactive, then delete it. You must then not log in to it or use your current email on their site for about a month or it re-activates. Then create a new account.

Have you changed it before? It will only let you change your name a few times before it won't let you change it again. But no, it won't let you use your old email address

Just create another account with a different email.
So many users have multiple FB accounts. You actually think there're 850 million unique users on FB?
C'mon, it's just clones and more clones for the most part.
