Changing Facebook Username

[Dan-Lawrence]

HI

Does anyone know of any negative consequences of changing Facebook username ?

For example i take it all your fans are transferred/you dont lose them ? Its just a url change (so links on website etc need to be updated) but thats the only thing that changes ?

Many Thanks

Dan

How do I change my Page name?

You can only change the name of a Page with fewer than 200 likes. If your Page qualifies, follow these steps to change its name:

1. From the top of your Page, click Edit Page 
2. Select Update Info
3. Change the text in the Name field and save your edits

You can't currently change the name of a Page with 200 or more likes.

Changing your Page's name does not affect its username or Page address. Learn more about changing your Page's username.

Also, I believe you can only change it once.

thanks Tim, have already looked at that though and im here talking about username not page name

[Dan-Lawrence]

thanks, anyone know about the fans , i take it they transfer too ?

[littlesthobo]

Yes I believe they do - I've changed a name once and it changed nothing except the name.  I do recall the 'you can only do this once so get it right' warning.

thanks, you are talking about username/url not page name right ? since thats what im about to change/talking about, the username/url

Can anyone confirm for sure re the fans (as in no risk of losing them or any other serious negatives) form changing the username/url ?
