i'm kenyatta cheese. who the hell are you? - part 3.
Facebook doesn't think I'm for real:
I tried registering a couple of times and got an error message suggesting that "kenyatta cheese" wasn't a "legitimate name."
Hooray for ethnocentrism!
While the comedy inherent in having a last name like "Cheese" makes this particular instance of q=facebook+%22legitimate+name%22 really funny, I can see how someone telling you that your real name isn't legit can be yet another way of making you feel left out.
update: In the time since I posted this entry, Facebook wrote back and hand-processed my registration for me. Thanks. Here's hoping that you don't have to hand-register the rather large portion of the world without western names.
