@bernardlee, facebook pages needed to have around 100 fans previously, but now we can claim the names as we have 25 fans. Don't know if they change this figure in future. Cheers to this post as its a common question, how to claim the facebook page name?

User name is a good idea. By the help of user name we don't need to search the fan page or person. We can open directly the profile or fan page profile. Thanks for the tips.

Many people face problem to choose relevant user names. Because the name they choose was already chosen by others. Thanks for this tips

@Finch – That's quite sleazy, I hope Facebook realizes you are a squatter and releases the usernames to someone who actually has a right to them.

The best part of claiming usernames on Facebook is claiming other people's usernames. I think we're all hoping on a new dot com explosion. That'd be pretty sweet to get in on!

I'm quite slow tonight it seems. You mean to actually go to the /username/ URL. Now it works!

When I go to the URL I want, it says it does not exist but does not offer a way to claim it as the fan page URL… Is there a trick to this? I can change my personal username, but I do not think this applies to the fan page URL… We have more than 25 fans.

Thanks Kevin for the mention Yeah This is a pretty slick trick that most don't know about. Glad that you shared it with others.

Btw: Kevin found out about this he is on the Problogger Forum which you all should join because that is where I posted this exclusive tutorial It is an excellent place for bloggers.
