How do you change a Facebook user name?

My young nephew spelled his name wrong when he opened his Facebook account. He's had it up for a month or so. Is there a way to change it or does he have to start over again? Thank you.

Best answer: The little arrow in the top right (next to "Home") > Account settings > Name > Edit.

Does that work for you?

Best answer: Go to "Account Settings" in the drop down menu on the top right side of the main page, and then click the "Edit" pencil next to the name section. You can update your name there.
