Topics: change username, facebook
From the beginning of Facebook, people have used their real names to share and connect with the people they know. The one place, though, where your identity wasn't reflected was in the Web address for your profile or the Facebook Pages you administer. The URL was just a randomly assigned number like "id=592952074."
Your new Facebook URL is like your personal destination, or home, on the Web. People can enter a Facebook username as a search term on Facebook or a popular search engine like Google, for example, which will make it much easier for people to find friends with common names.
if someone else has taken it before you, you are out of luck, so register your URL quickly.
Think carefully about the username you choose. Once it's been selected, you won't be able to change or transfer it.
You can change username by following below steps.

I'm not sure how it will help you find people. If you look up a name now, it brings up the 14524535424 site. If you have a common name, you may select a common Facebook username and so people will still not be able to find "John Smith". -
I got facebook.com/acoustic.guitarist a few months back
