While it is not according to the rules, you can sign up with a fake name and they have so many users they probably don't bother to do regular check-ups if people use their real name or not. So most people who use a pseudonym never get caught anyway.

However, may it be clear I would suggest against joining Facebook nevertheless. I tried it about 4 years ago and left quickly enough. I'm very happy I realised the hidden traps in that site. Would not recommend it to anyone.

However, since everyone has his own opinions and such... If you wish to sign up on Facebook, the chances you would see your account suspended if you use a pseudonym, are very slim. They have too many members and too many accounts to properly control them all, and to my knowledge using a pseudonym is quite common to the extent the frontier between real name and pseudonym becomes blurred. I would assume a lot of artists sign up using their stage name rather than their real name.
