The other day I "sent in a request to change my facebook name." Originally, my surname on facebook was Bale. You know, to signify my undying love for Christian Bale. But I figured that, seeing as I was starting uni soon and all, I should probably make my facebook name my real name so as to not confuse anyone.
People can be easily misled, you see, and could think I was somehow related to Christian or something... and that would be heinous. That would be incest and I don't want that.
It got me thinking as I saw the words "your request has been sent in" appear on my monitor. It then went on to explain how we have "limited name changes" to make sure people use their real name. My first facebook name was just my real name spelt backwards. My second facebook name had my real first name and Bale as my surname. Now it's just my real name. But what made facebook decide that that transition was a normal one?
Are there people just sitting around in the facebook office, doing skits of The Social Network ("Oh ho, I like socks with sandals too!"), when they're not busy looking at people's name change requests? I mean, did they just come across mine and decide that hey, Junaberry is a perfectly acceptable transition from Yrrebanuj, let's approve her! And that hey, she's just changed her surname from Bale to Asshead. That's completely normal. I love that surname. Such individuality, so much passion, so much personality. She probably married a gq-motherfucker named Christian Asshead. Let's approve her!
Really now.
