Facebook finally backed down and reversed the restrictive naming policy. We achieved this victory because you refused to back down when your accounts were targeted. Keep a close watch on your settings to ensure they honor this commitment.

Final supporters
There are many reasons why people change their name on Facebook. Here are a few of the following:
Victims of domestic violence.
Fans of Sports Teams
LGBT Community
A Cause or community
Honor a deceased loved one
We want you Facebook to change it back to where it was before you made these changes.
Please honor our right to free speech and to express ourselves on Facebook and stop censorship.
America is great because of free speech and should stay that way.

GoHawks till I die. If i want my profile name to be SeahawksFan99 that is my choice. Leave my account alone.
Censorship pure and simple. Keep your hands off my profile.
My friend got locked out because she uses her middle name instead of her legal one. So stupid. Fix this now.
FB needs to mind its own business. Some of us use aliases to stay safe from creeps and exes. This is a total invasion of privacy.
Ridiculous. My account is for staying in touch with my gaming group. Nobody there knows my real name and they dont need to.
