Facebook has been cracking down on fake names, and recently went after Jemma Rogers, who set up an account as "Jemmaroid Von Laalaa" in 2008.

Facebook didn't buy it, so she legally changed her name to "Jemmaroid Von Laalaa."
Facebook still wouldn't budge, but say they're "looking into the matter."

Good morning. I'm David Don Greenoid (ph), or maybe that's just my codename online. If it were, apparently Facebook wouldn't allow it. They have been cracking down on fake names and recently went after Jemma Rogers who set up an account as Jemmaroid Von Laalaa in 2008. Facebook demanded she prove it's her name. She tried to Photoshop Jemmaroid on her bank cards. Facebook didn't buy it. She legally changed her name to Jemmaroid Von Laalaa. Facebook still won't budge. They're, quote, "looking into the matter." It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
