Today, I felt like adding my real middle name to my facebook name to make it look more professional. It was denied because they didn't feel it was a legitimate request. Minutes later, someone with the name of "Galactic Toast" friend requested me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I've been calling my girlfriend by her nickname for so long, I had to reactivate my Facebook account to find her real name. FML
Today, I sent my girlfriend a request to confirm our relationship on Facebook. She accepted, then changed her screen name into "His Hand". FML
Today, I was on Facebook when I saw a picture a popular girl I don't talk to had posted of her fake ID. She had used my full name and identical signature. FML
Today, while working in a customer service call center, a customer berated me for using a fake name. He said my name is "too stupid" to be real and that no sane person would ever use it. It was my real name. FML
Today, I received a friend request on Facebook from a girl I've had a crush on for a while. As I was about to accept it, it vanished. She explained later that she clicked on my name by accident, and didn't actually want to be friends at all. FML
Today, I got screamed at to the point of tears by a Starbucks employee for "giving an obviously fake name" to confuse one of the employees. I told her my real name. My name is Ian. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to order coffee on my own instead of using the app. When the barista asked, “Name?” I froze and blurted out my email address. They called out my full name plus numbers and I had to claim it like that was normal. FML
Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML
Today, I sent a Facebook friend request to my ex. This afternoon I notice that they had accepted, and had left a message for me in my inbox. Asking how they knew me. FML
Today, Facebook notified me a "friend" had tagged me in one of his photos. It was a group photo of 20, but my face was the only one that was intentionally blocked out with an emoji because I "didn't belong in the group." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

thats not really an fml, unless your middle name really does suck that bad

If it does suck that bad, then he/she should be favoring Facebook's decision.

i don't think FB can actually deny requests to change your name

They can't.

They can because if it's "to fake"they'll know sometimes

They can. My friend changed her name (something about a publishing name... whatev) and they denied her first request. So she took a few weeks to do it sneakily, changing one or two letters at a time until she changed it completely.

I had the exact same prob (first and last name = two syllables, not oriental either.. wanted to add some depth) but repeated retries got it eventually. Must say though I didn't have any random toasts try and friend me in that time - fyl

How does having your middle name on Facebook make you appear more professional?

If your middle name is Rockefeller or Carnegie? As long as it isn't Madoff.

I've never even thought of anything on Facebook as "professional". In fact I think the most professional would be to not even have a Facebook at all.

From the wording, I think that OP had a long and ridiculous fake middle name first, so changing it to his actual middle name would make him seem a bit more professional.

It's probably for the best. You don't really want every last little bit of information on you on Facebook, anyway. Unless, of course, you WANT your identity stolen.
