How do I change my name on Facebook?

[TBT]

I wanted to change my name. But whenever I changed it, it always said

"We require Facebook users to use their real name"

Go to Account Settings. Beside your name, you see Edit. Type in your new name.

Go to your Account Settings page

Click on the Name section, type in your name, and save your changes

Note:
-To help make sure that everyone uses their real name, we limit the number of times you can change your name.
-If your name is changed by a Facebook representative, this change is considered final. This means you will no longer have the option to manually change your name.
-If you weren't able to change your name, we may be able to help.
