Check this out! FB has decided that they are going to enforce the names issue on accounts and their first target has not been cartoon names or really weird names but - you guessed it - animal names!! I Know - REALLY?
So please, be forewarned and realize that our pet names do technically violate the FB terms of service and make your name on your account some version of your real name - You make the switch by going to your account setting, profile, change name and use a real name (yours! - as you notice mine is nicknames but also names I can prove are legal!) for your account and then below that is an "alternative name" for people to find you on FB - this is where you put your animal name - they do limit caps, and spacing. You also have the option at the same time, BEFORE you change your animal name, to make it an also find by name - so do that and your friends that know your pet name can find you that way. Having the name in ( ) after your legal name also allows searching that way. ie I have gingibitus.killakat and killakattikat.dartanian as "also" names.

It is FB's right to cancel your account on a whim - we all know people who were 'disappeared' and some never came back in the name they had before so please be aware of the risks of the name issues!
