Facebook friends using Celebrity Names and Pictures

hi haopee you right, there is no rules in facebook when we choose our name on it. that the weakness. i have uploaded my photo on facebook, my real photos. but something happen to my album on facebook, my photo has gone. i don't know why, it strange for me. my password was hard to hacked. i think facebook still have very much bug on their site. including their weakness in rule.

Here's what I think. I think that your friends are ashamed of who they are themselves and instead resort to using the personality of someone they adore. Whether it's some actor, athlete or singer, it doesn't matter. They'll TELL you it's because they wish to keep a low profile, but actually, they just don't want to face reality, to face themselves. And believe it or not, Facebook DOES have a rule which states that you must use your real name. The problem is that they don't really enforce that rule and thus nobody follows it. Let them have their fun. It's cool, as long as they don't go all "look at how great I am" in your face about it.

That is for security reasons. I agree that it is dangerous to expose all your true information on the internet. But i dislike the idea of using the names of celebrities. It doesn't feel right but everyone has the right to do what they want to do. So, just ignore and let them do that.

Hi haopee! I have some friends in real life that uses a different last name. Or uses a different first name like "Pretty or Sweetheart". I guess that is fine if they don't put their real name. I think it is safer that way. About the Facebook of celebrities, I really don't care much about it. I saw a lot of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in Facebook too haha.

Hello! Some people don't want to use their real names so with the picture neither to avoid scam and spam. I do put my real name and picture on it so it's easy for my friends and relatives to find me specially the long lost one. I don't care for spam thing.

because of every one know the celebrity. and they make more firnd's. other are to macking a fack id for him at that time it's use a this celebrityu name and pictures.

A lot of people that are on Facebook , don't use their real name.I use my real ,my full name to be exact.I have a friend,and her name is the longest name i see on Facebook....she use her pet name, and a lot of alias in her profile which i don't think is necessary.Some people still don't use their own pictures on Facebook. some of them have reasons,not to use their real name and real picture on the web.But i never accept any one with cartoon picture,its just not appropriated to chat with a cartoon character lol.

Sometimes it's a joke. I know my friends occasionally put weird names and celebrity names as their facebook name, and it's pretty funny sometimes. It's just a humor thing, and I usually just ignore it. I have a friend that says he's married to "Sci Ence" with a photo of Einstein. I can understand why it would be a little weird for some people, but don't let it bother you too much. It's usually a temporary thing and they'll change it back. Just let them do whatever they want, but only to an extent. Completely impersonating someone else can lead to online abuse issues, and I've seen that happen. One person tried to completely copy someone else's facebook page, and began impersonating them on facebook. Twitter's rules are a little severe...usually I just use facebook for my circle of friends and no one else, so I don't worry about outside intruders. Happy mylotting!

I can see where it could raise a few eyebrows considering that some celeberities have face book accounts. However, it doesn't directly affect me so I wouldn't be bothered by it. I understand there are some things people wish to hide online, or use it as an opportunity to redefine themselves because they got cheeted out of being who they want (or think) they want to be. And, if they have something to hide that's their business. Just don't go posting personal information and complain that you don't like the comments directed at you. Once you post it, it's there to stay and even if you manage to delete something there's a chance someone saw it and can use it against you.

Some of my friends do that too. But it doesn't bother me at all. I also don't put my own picture on my profile and use an avatar instead. Some people want their own identity private, and it could be one reason. Some are just fanatics and that is the reason why they put photos of their have stars. I think there is no reason to put a rule against that. People are free to do as they feel and as long as they don't claim the identity of the photos they use, then I guess that is fine.

I think it is for attracting more friend request Much people want to befriend with celebrities, right? :) An verified account can be a solution, but I think using Facebook as fan base isn't really efficient enough Except, if they are using fanpage :) Anyway, if he/she is using it for gaining more friends, it would being "fake friends" as he/she is using "fake identity" . Maybe several people still enjoy it though?

If you think celebrity names are annoying get this, I have friends who write their name in Japanese, it cannot get more annoying than that, when I search for them it is super hard to find them. Other than that, isn't it better to just be ourselves? I enjoy things more when I am honest about who I am and do not try to imitate others.
