Facebook letting users choose Usernames
What is a Facebook username?
You can personalize your Facebook URL (web address) by selecting a unique username. It will appear in the location bar of your browser after "http://www.facebook.com/" when you view your profile.
Where can I claim a username?
Starting at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday, June 13, 2009, you will be able to select a username at http://www.facebook.com/username. You can select a username that Facebook suggests or create your own. Click "Set Username" to confirm your choice.
How many usernames does each person get?
Users can only have one username for their personal profile. Similarly, Facebook Page administrators can only have one username for each Page.
Will username URLs be available in multiple languages?
Not at this time. Usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period ("."). We're looking at how we may potentially support non-romanized characters in the future.
Can I edit my username, or transfer it to another account?
Once you have claimed a username by clicking the "Set Username" button, it is not possible to edit it, or to transfer your username to a different account on Facebook. Additionally, when an account is removed from the site, its username will not be made available. Facebook does this for security reasons.
You should make sure it is something you like and that it’s appropriate for friends, family, co-workers, and anyone else who might use it to find you.
