What You Should Know About Changing Your Name on Facebook.

Some social media platform allows you to change your name anytime you want to make a change, not so much with Facebook: they only allow for one to make a change in a 60-days period, that means before you will be allowed to make a change on your name after the first attempt would be after 60-days, and if you change your name too often they would extend it to 120-days, unlike other platforms, Facebook wants you to use your real name, like Faustina Kadiri, if you use a fake name you risk being banned from Facebook.
