Hi all

Apparently I haven't been paying enough attention to something, but I've had my facebook account suspended because I don't have an appropriate name on my profile

Erm....what? I'm confused

I don't see why I should have to have my surname on there, just as a privacy thing. So I'm not going to.

So, can you tell me either
a) how do I get around it
or
b) what should my new surname be?

Wow! It could be anything you want!! How about choosing something from the Python boys' "Upper class twit of the year" competition.....

This has happened to some other friends of mine.

Just come back with another name that looks more real than just "P" did, but it doesn't have to be your real name, and you'll be fine until you make an enemy and they report you :)

Given Wilson has a facebook page and is (a) a cat and (b) under their age limit anyway, they clearly only have some sort of automated checking mechanism.
