– Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeating characters or punctuation.
– Characters from multiple languages.

– Words or phrases in place of a name.
– Offensive or suggestive words of any kind.
Other things to keep in mind:
– The name on your profile should be the name that your friends call you in everyday life. This name should also appear on an ID or document from our ID list.
– Nicknames can be used as a first or middle name if they’re a variation of your authentic name (like Bob instead of Robert).
– You can also list another name on your account (example: maiden name, nickname, professional name).
– Profiles are for individual use only. You can create a Page for a business, organization or idea.
– Pretending to be anything or anyone isn’t allowed. See: How to change your Facebook password
