    Hi
    was just wondering, say if you wanted to set up a profile for a club or something, where you can still add friends and accept requests, it says that the name isn't allowed or invalid. But yet I see loads of profiles for bars, clubs etc that are proper ones and not pages or groups.

    How did they beat the system?:confused:

    Cheers

    Either Atomic Dublin or Atomic Whelans.

    But i've seen very random names been used too

    Generally Facebook is smart enough to know if a word isn't a a name

    I'd try something like Atomicdublin Whelans

    Are you setting up a new profile, or a group? Try setting up a group - that way people can become a "fan" etc.

    yeah I have a fan page set up but thought it'd be better to have a proper profile where you can email friends and all
