What should I do I need facebook?

[Kayla Skittlez]

So, I wanted to change my name on facebook to Kayla Skittles, because previously it was Joshie Skittles, however I am transgender, and want to become open, so I sent a name change request to facebook following what this video said to do, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbCZM2f7jls, and instead of facebook just simply changing my name, this is what they emailed me back -

Hi,

Facebook is a community where people use their real identities. We require everyone to provide their real first and last names and real birthday so you always know who you're connecting with. Your account is temporarily suspended because your profile doesn’t list your real name.

To reopen this account, please reply to this email stating your real name as it would be listed on a government-issued ID, like a passport or driver's license. Once we know your real name, we will correct the name on your account and reactivate it.

Your name can’t include:
- Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeating characters, or punctuation
- Characters from multiple languages
- Titles of any kind (ex: professional, religious, etc.)

Other things to keep in mind:
- Nicknames can be used as your first or middle name if they're a variation of your real first, middle, or last name (like Bob instead of Robert)
- You can always list an alternative name on your account: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=131728300237162
- Only one person's name can be listed on the account – profiles are for individual use only
- Pretending to be anything or anyone is not allowed

If you’re worried about your privacy, you can restrict who can find you in searches from the “Connecting on Facebook” page. To get to this page, click on the Privacy Settings link in the Account menu at the top of every Facebook page.

If you ever come across another profile with a name that violates our policies, feel free to report it by using the “Report/block this Person” link located on that profile.

Note that we will not be able to open your account until you respond to this email with your real name. Also, once we update your account with your real name you won’t be able to change the name on your account. Sorry for the inconvenience.
