My actual, factual Chinese name, which I use in Chinese-speaking countries, was automatically disallowed by a bot within a second after I tried to add it to my Facebook profile. Oddly, my son's Chinese name (the same surname, but a given name that arguably looks a little more authentically Chinese) has been posted on his Facebook profile for years. Why Facebook can't figure out that I am Chinese by marriage (and now by parentage) and have spoken the language for most of my life (which I have declared on my profile from the beginning) is beyond me. I have no idea how to get behind the bot response to reach an actual human being to add this information to my profile.

Change of policy over time turns what was possible in the past to "no longer acceptable" today. Keep in mind that you have no right and no control over anything in the facebook world and you can explain every quirks.
