Can You Use All Capitals in Facebook Names?

You edit your Facebook profile name in your account settings. However, if you attempt to edit your name to be composed of all capitals, Facebook immediately reverts your first and last name to regular capitalization once you press the "Save Changes" button.

Facebook has other requirements for profile names as well. In terms of characters, Facebook profile names cannot include any symbols, numbers, repeating characters, characters from more than one language, or punctuation. In terms of content, names cannot include any titles, words or phrases in the place of a middle name, or any suggestive or offensive content.

Facebook Pages are used to represent brands, businesses, ideas or organizations. Facebook does not allow all capitals in your Facebook Page name, either. However, it does allow the usage of all capitals in your Facebook Page name when the usage is an acronym. For example, a Facebook Page with the name "Joggers for HIV Awareness" would be allowed.

Facebook has other requirements for Page names as well. Facebook does not allow any type of unusual capitalization for Page names; this includes non-acronym words in all caps or any words in alternating caps. Additionally, to make an edit to your Page name after creating it, you must have fewer than 200 likes; Facebook's policy as of March 2013 does not allow the changing of any Page name with 200 or more likes.
