Here's the story: I changed my name on Facebook, then changed it back. Why? Because I was working with a non-profit organization, and I needed to explain to their users something important. They needed to use their own, proper user accounts to access their organization's business pages. If they didn't, they could fall into a gray area of Facebook's policies against "fake accounts." This could have led to their Facebook pages being shut down, which would have been devastating for the non-profit. It could have caused reputational damage beyond their ability to recover.

This may be true. If you don't mind losing monetization or even getting banned, then social media might still work for you. However, if your business relies heavily on a social media platform for marketing and sales, losing your account could be very damaging.
