Unless you are promoting something, using a fake Facebook name is not a good idea if you want to communicate with your old friends. I had time today and tried to search most of my High School and College classmates and I found only few. It is difficult to find someone who uses fake name.

Facebook (after Friendster) is one of the best things ever happen over the Internet today. People are creating Facebook accounts to get in touch with their friends and relatives. It is always a good feeling to have someone new added to your account every time you log-in – someone you already know (a friend or relative). Whenever I have spare time, I always spend searching some of my old friends hoping that they have Facebook accounts.

Sometimes, it’s just frustrating when you can’t find what you are looking for because they are using fake names, nicknames, or married names.

For married women, I suggest you use your whole name including your maiden name. Some uses their child’s name too. It is okay if you create an account for your child but you must do it separately.

My High School life was 15 years over and my College was 10 years. 90% of my classmates have their own families and I found it difficult to find them. I guess you are having the same problem too.

• Use your full name
• Do not use your child’s name for your own acocunt
• Use your whole name including maiden name (if married woman)

Just a simple reminder to people who want to contact their long lost friends and families….
