I use Facebook on my phone. I don't normally check it at the computer. I am curious as to what is the difference between FB having your name, and some of the businesses, email providers, banks, etc. I don't think anyone should do it if it makes them uncomfortable. I am not Facebook friends with my grown children - but we are in close contact by phone/email/visit. I do get to keep in touch with some far away people and this does not preclude email, phone, etc. Just an addition.
