This Woman Changed Her Name Just So She Could Log In to Facebook

And you thought forgetting your password was a hassle

You might change your name as a spy. Or adopt a new moniker to elude the law. But would you change your name for Facebook?

Jemma Rogers did.

The holistic therapist from Lewisham, southeast London, changed her name to match her Facebook pseudonym, Jemmaroid Von Laalaa, after she was locked out of her account, according to the Telegraph.

The 30-year-old created her profile in 2008 under a fake name to avoid unsolicited friend requests. But when Facebook asked for proof of identification to unlock her account last month, Rogers was stuck. The account would remain locked without positive identification.

Rogers emailed Facebook to explain the situation. She begged. She even tried Photoshopping a bank card. But nothing worked.

So Rogers did something drastic — she changed her name by deed poll and ordered a new driver’s license and bank cards.

“I know I’ve been a completely moron, but Facebook are being ridiculous,” Rogers said. “They should be able to tell it’s a genuine account but just under a fake name, I can’t believe I am being punished like this.”

Unfortunately, her new documents were not the key to unlock her account. Since sending them to Facebook, Rogers has only received automated responses promising to “look into” the situation.

“I’ve been locked out of my account for five weeks now and have lost all of my photos, messages and precious memories,” Rogers said.

She lost her name too.

This is ridiculous on Facebook's part       ,How did she get locked out of it in the first place?

I wouldn't go as far as to change my name, especially since there's no guarantee of it working (as proven here)   

 

 

I don't think famous people like Rihanna, Gaga and Katy will have to worry about this since they are so famous they won't need to prove themselves.

"Completely moron"

 

Why would you go to such life-changing trouble just for a social media account? I would have just swerved to Twitter or the like.

Jemmaroid Von Laalaa is a FANTASTIC drag queen name.

Why would Rih change her name tho? That is her real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty

I think it was stupid of her in the first place to make a profile with a fake name, you don't have to accept every friend request.
