My name is spelled wrong on facebook. How do I correct thos?

To correct a spelling mistake on your Facebook name, you can follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your Facebook account and go to your profile.
  2. Click on the "About" tab on your profile.
  3. Click on the "Edit" button next to your name.
  4. Make the necessary changes to your name, and click on "Review Change"

Note: Facebook has a policy for name change, you might need to provide a government-issued ID or other documents to confirm your identity. Also, you can change your name only a certain amount of times and after a certain period of time, following the policy will help you avoid any issues.
If you are unable to change your name, it may be because you have reached the limit of name changes on Facebook or because your name change request was flagged for review and is pending. In that case, you can contact Facebook support for further assistance.

Hi,... i ahve a problem i love this guy but i dont know his full name can you help me??

Just ask him how to spell his name, cause some people spell their names different than it sounds. You just want to make sure so you can write your name with his over and over and over. He will not understand that, kind of changes the meaning of why you ask him, how to spell his name.

How do I change the Name of the person at an extension on the Panasonic KX T7431

press the Program Button, then (**1234), and scroll counter-clockwise through the options with the volume circle. the option should say, "004 ext name set." to enter into that option to change, press the sp-phone button. continue pressing the sp-phone button until you find the extension number you would like to change. once you find it, press the transfer button and spell the designated name using the dial pad. For example, Mike (press 6 and use the volume circle to browse the letter you need from that assigned key- to get M) to continue spelling the name, continue using the dial pad and repeat to assign the designated letter. to store the name, press the "Auto Dial/Store" button and it will beep to confirm.
hope this helps, deanna
