Get a new e-mail with your new name, and make a new facebook profile with name and gender.... surly easiest way?!

Sounds to be the best way, but damn that'll be annoying, re-uploading everything.
I don't use Facebook much.

Girls, it would be great if one of you could list the steps you took on the Facebook page to do a name change?

That would really be helpful.

Hi,
when I changed my profile on fb, it was because my email was changing as work uses our name as our email address, I sent a request to FB help to transfer my profile and friends ect to my new email, they helped out and my change was seamless pictures all my data links ect came over to my new profile

I changed mine almost two months ago and have never been asked for any kind of ID. Did you go through and try to do it and get told no, or are you asking just based on what their little blurb on the name change screen says (I believe it does say something about it needing to be your legal name from an ID or credit card).

I changed my name and gender on FB 3 months ago and had no trouble. Legally I am not Ashley, but they haven't complained about it.

There are a few reasons why they may ask for id.
