You can actually set your privacy to paranoid, and people won't even be able to search for you. Go to the privacy settings and you'll see the different levels of privacy and the one at the top of the list is paranoid.

go to your fb homepage, then on top, there are these things that says home, profile etc.etc. click on settings. and then you should be on the my account page, and on the first text you see there is your name. there should be a button that says "change" next to that part.
