Default Facebook Fanpage - high quality problem!

Hey guys,

This is not so much a problem, but more of a challenge to overcome...

I'm re-branding at the moment, that means everything, website, Facebook, twitter, business cards, designs, flyers, advertising, you name it, I'm doing it!

Here is my Facebook Fanpage: London Dating Coach - The Official Page | Facebook

You will see that I have over 4,800 likes. I've tried to change the name of the fanpage but I can't see how this is possible? I no longer wish to be known as the London Dating Coach as I'm taking my coaching business global and out of London. So this London dating coach name doesn't fit my brand model of 'TopDatingCoach' - does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I don't really want to start from scratch again with zero likes but it looks like I may have to if I want my new branding to be in synch...

This is what my friend calls a high quality problem!

You can't change it if you have over 100 fans Maybe you could start a new one and invite all of the fans over? Perhaps invest in a sponsored ad ? I know it's frustrating. I tried to do a sponsored ad for my hair related fanpage, but I could not change the title to anything other than my business name, I went ahead and got it to go to my website, which is good, but those little FB rules...

Yeah it is frustrating, I've just found out that you can't change the name.

I'm going to have to start again from scratch

That is frustrating and a little crazy on FB's behalf.

I will be keeping this in mind for future ventures.... Thanks for the heads up everyone

If you think about, it, from the side of the fan of the group, allowing you to change the name would let you change it to something the current fans might no longer be fans of. I could see someone using this maliciously.

In the same situation with a page that needs a name change, but understand why.

I think London Dating Coach is a great name for a global dating business.

'TopDatingCoach' sounds rather banal.

"London Dating Coach" sounds classy, smart and exquisite .

Think "Kentucky Fried Chicken" better than "Top Fried Chicken", and they left Kentucky and went global a long time ago...


I think FB did it that way so that ppl can decide what they like for themselves. What if I "liked" ducks and then the admin changed the name to "duck liver pate" ! That could cause trouble...

High quality problems are the best!

If it were me I would send off an e-mail to Facebook arguing my case. You never know - they may agree and bend the rules for you.

Being FB developer myself, I doubt FB would bend such fundamental rules, but yes, you never know. changing the names of FB Groups was widely used in the past maliciously, so thats why. Create new fan page,ask your fans to like it,try to use some incentive if they like your new fan page(some sort of free gift)

Seconded. I really think you should have A/B'ed the switch before going all in.

Completely agree. London is a vibrant international city and you could easily promote the page to show that it's now worldwide.

Congratulations on being so successful that you've now expanded across the world. Looking forward to seeing where you go with the brand.

Stick with the name, it's way better than many other alternatives. It gives you some personality, as we all know your origin.

Just a small note from someone who have been in the dating niche before:
Get a camera and a friend, and go get some kiss closes in street within 5 minutes. A danish guy did that, and he went pretty big in Denmark - as the only who actually showed some proof in Denmark.

If you make loads of videos like that, you actually have proof. Something very few "PUA's" have.
