- quizbiz 17y agoMy first attempt will be only my first name. If my 3 letter first name does not catch then first initial then full last.
- mcav 17y agoFrom the Facebook blog post: > "Your username must be at least five characters in length and only include alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), or a period or full stop (".")." Might be better to go for your latter option first.
- Dauntless 17y agoThat's a bit of a disadvantage for people with short first names, but I can understand it. I wonder how many names will be mike.the.great and so on
- jkincaid 17y agoThe dot shouldn't matter. As with Gmail, it looks like it treats it the same way (try going to Facebook.com/z.uck vs Facebook.com/zuck)
- Dauntless 17y agoI tried writing my 3 letter name like : a.b.c so the link would have been abc . But it still didn't let me unfortunately.
- graywh 17y agoThere's a minimum length. It probably ignores the periods just like Gmail does.
- quizbiz 17y agoI got my name without the dot, but it still works with a dot.
- hellweaver666 17y agoI'm planning to try for my full name, there's a couple of significant people on the web with the same name as me so I'm hoping to get to it first. Also have an extra browser open with my wifes account loaded up, hoping to be first to get hers as well. We're both going for firstnamelastname without periods, hyphens etc (although we're using the 'short' version of our firstnames - Andy & Steph - rather than the full version.
