I have a number of former students who do this, and generally they have come up with some clever way to modify their name so that a search on their IRL name will not turn up their FB page, but a glance at the FB name will immediately bring to mind the IRL name. It's a useful tactic for anyone job-hunting, honestly, because as inappropriate as I find it that employers take into account irrelevant outside-of-work behaviour, the fact is that a lot of employers do take into account irrelevant outside-of-work behaviour, and it's a perfectly valid privacy tactic to make oneself less net-stalkable.
