The system will suggest a few available options based on your first and\/or last name, but it&#8217;ll also provide a blank field in which you can type something completely unrelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Facebook account gets only one username, and you can never change it. You can&#8217;t transfer it to someone else, either. Even if you delete your Facebook account, Facebook says the name won&#8217;t go back into the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So go ahead, grab your name before someone else does&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/username\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/username<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook is becoming one of the world&#8217;s largest search engines.
