Make sure you're not using any unusual capitalization or special characters. Stick to the basics, and you'll be good.
If you recently changed your name, you might have to wait 60 days before changing it again. Patience, my friend!
Facebook sometimes locks name changes to prevent account impersonation or spamming. Stay calm and check their Help Center!
