Hi,

Fake names are a violation of our Terms of Use.  Facebook requires users to provide their full first and last names (i.e. no initials).  Nicknames can be used in the form of FirstName ‘NickName’ LastName, but only if they are a variation on your real first or last name, such as ‘Bob’ instead of ‘Robert’.  Additionally, please note that impersonating anyone or anything is prohibited.

If you would like to use this profile again, just get back to us with your real name, and we will reactivate the account for you.

Thanks for your understanding,

My response:

Hiya,

OK, the name my account uses, Rowan Evenstar, is my correct name.   i was born with it, it use it for everything, there is no ‘nick name’ involved.  Do you need some kind of evidence to prove this ? I cant help that my mother was a hippie and named me after a) a tree (Rowan) and b) a Lord of The Rings character (Arwen Evenstar).  But this is truly my name!  It is what i use on my bank account, bills and employment.  It is on my birth certificate that if u really need a photo copy of i cant email you.  I go under no false name.  I have an internet handle of Zenrhe, which i have used for 10 years, but i am always happy to use my real name.

Please can you sort this out for me, or let me know what i can do.  I would hate to not be able to use facebook, and have been missing it since you disabled my account.  And Bebo is just no-where near as good as yourselves ,i wont mention myspace, im not a big fan of them.  But i assure you that if you can not re-activate my account when my name is not fake, i will have this information sent around every other service, Twitter will have a field day, and it will get to all the major podcasters and beyond.

I appreciate any help.

Also i have heard a rumour that my friend Laura Evenstar, also based in Aberdeen and a friend of mine may have had her account disabled.  This is also her real name, she and her mother changed it by dead poll a while back.  I don’t expect you to look into this also, i just wanted to make you aware.  I used to be a first line support technician, and sometimes i could perform certain when in a good mood.

I must also apologize for the fact im quite drunk after arriving home for the club i work in at weekends – its an excuse to dance and get paid, but is not very good when arriving home to read tweets and then reply to emails.

Thanks you for your time.

Kind Regards
Miss Rowan Evenstar
