Question on setting up Facebook with user name

[TriumfAnt]

I'm thinking of setting up a FB page using my user name. I want to keep my vlogging life separate from my (ab)normal life What do I enter in the first-name - last-name section? I've seen lots of FB accounts with vloggers user name, how do they/you do that?
Let's just ignore for the moment that you're not supposed to have multiple FB accounts, but I will be using separate email accounts.
Any help most welcome.

Cheers, TriumfAnt

I've got both a Fan Page and also a user account for my channel.

If you don't need to join Facebook groups the fan page by itself is fine, however if like me there's a few local motorbike groups you want to join you might want to create both.

When creating the user account I don't think there's any way to use a YouTube name so to speak. Facebook forces you to put something in First and Last names fields. I had to make my user account Ham Sandwhich as Facebook rejected just Ham.

I also noticed that Facebook checks for possible fake names, like Triumph might fail as a first name but Triumf might not.

Triumph might fail as a first name but Triumf might not.

Let's hope no one calls their kids Triumph then.

I've just set up a page for mine on Facebook.

I ran into the same issue. In the end just set it up as a page instead of a standalone account and called it a day.

I just made another acct called AridersLife Peter - and facebook accepted that.

but i have a Like wall etc.

I'll think I'll have a go at a new account, but if FB doesn't accept it I'll do the page thing. Thanks for the advice lads.

I'm in a similar boat.
Facebook wouldn't take mine so I started a page. I'm not really liking it. I'd like to be able to post to other vlogger's facebook sites but it makes me do it under my real name. I can only post as my handle on my page.

You can comment on other vlogger's Facebook fan page with your own fan page. Just click the little settings icon on the blue bar up top and to the right and just select "Use Facebook as:" and select your fan page. You can then click the home button and see the feed of motovloggers you have liked with that facebook fan page and communicate with them on their posts.

I'm trying to get a facebook page off the ground, but I found a very annoying catch:

If I put my yt uploads to automatically share, they are posted on my personal page. If on youtube I hit "share" and choosefacebook... boom: personal page.

I gotta copy link, and then manually re-post on facebook, which is a pain.
Specially since lately I have been using and abusing the scheduled publishing feature on youtube...

I think I managed to set up a FB page with my user name. Let me know if you can see it ok. Cheers.
