Today, I felt like adding my real middle name to my facebook name to make it look more professional. It was denied because they didn't feel it was a legitimate request. Minutes later, someone with the name of "Galactic Toast" friend requested me. FML

thats not really an fml, unless your middle name really does suck that bad

If it does suck that bad, then he/she should be favoring Facebook's decision.

i don't think FB can actually deny requests to change your name

They can because if it's "to fake"they'll know sometimes

They can. My friend changed her name (something about a publishing name... whatev) and they denied her first request. So she took a few weeks to do it sneakily, changing one or two letters at a time until she changed it completely.

I put my middle name as Cheese-It aand they didn't deny mee(:

Shame on you for even using Facebook. And shame on you for not thinking Galactic Toast is legit. I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called Galactic Toast.

I had the exact same prob (first and last name = two syllables, not oriental either.. wanted to add some depth) but repeated retries got it eventually. Must say though I didn't have any random toasts try and friend me in that time - fyl

How does having your middle name on Facebook make you appear more professional?

If your middle name is Rockefeller or Carnegie? As long as it isn't Madoff.

I've never even thought of anything on Facebook as "professional". In fact I think the most professional would be to not even have a Facebook at all.

From the wording, I think that OP had a long and ridiculous fake middle name first, so changing it to his actual middle name would make him seem a bit more professional.

sometimes when u apply at a big company they look u up to see what kinda person u rlly are. Lmfao! it happened to me and it was even on the news :P

#95, then maybe you should learn about privacy settings, dumbass.

Is he related to Biggus Dickus? I suppose his name is Galacticus Toastius.

It's probably for the best. You don't really want every last little bit of information on you on Facebook, anyway. Unless, of course, you WANT your identity stolen.
