Not strictly an Apple question but can't find help anywhere else. Tried to sign up on Facebook and it doesn't like my name (Bernard Stay). Won't say why our what to do about it.Anybody any ideas? Thanks.

At a guess, Facebook thinks you're trying to use a made up name as your last name is not terribly common as a name but is a common English word. You may need to contact FB directly to sort it out.
FB won't let me use my real last name the way it's correctly spelled because it involves both punctuation and a space.
Thanks. I'm sure you're right. However I can't find any way to contact Facebook to tell them what's happening or to ask what to do about it. I'll probably give up the quest (I'm not keen on the Facebook thing really but there seemed to be no way of talking to VSL Photography except via FB.)

Sorry. I have no good advice. I've long since given up the battle on my last name. I've had to sacrifice the punctuation on the altar of the bad (or lazy) grammar and usage of the people who design websites.
Facebook won't accept my name
