good job on trying to be safe! more people need to do that. and yes, it will show up as your name so don't put in "billy bob" or something... unless that is your name ;) a lot of people use their first names and middle names instead of a last name. or sometimes they use first name and last initial or something. however, you can set your account to be private to anybody that is not your friend- as in, if somebody searches for you and you come up, all they see is your display name and profile picture. i'm pretty sure there is even an option that makes it to where you don't show up in search whatsoever. i think that facebook is a lot safer than myspace, if that makes you feel better.

First off, I want to commend you for being safe. Far too many people don't care if just anybody on the internet knows who they are, so I think it's great that you're trying to be safe. And the truth is, yes, they can see your full name. So you might want to do what my best friend did. She put in a false name, and then told all of her friends it was her, so they could add her. Oh, and she also put up a picture that wasn't her (it was of something random, but not a person).

Yes, they can see your full name, but after you create your account you can change what they see. You go to acount, then click on name, and you can change it.
A lot of people like you choose their first name and then their middle name, but you can do what you want.
BEWARE facebook is extremely addicting! =)
ALWAYS&&FOREVER
