This email may take 3-7 days about reponse back on your request. If your request will get accept then your page name will be change automatically to the name which we added in desired name.

Tricky Part:- Suppose if you don't have any document or you just want to change name of your any fans page simply select the catagory Misspell and upload your cover image :D This method is also working.. lol

Reasons For Not Changing Name After Requesting

This Change name request only works if you have accurate and right reason. For business pages you have to upload document which clears about changing or re-branding Page name with solid reasons.

But you have just fans page and selecting misspell option is right choice.

Facebook change names only if new name is little bit similar to previous one. For Example My Page name is "I am Pahul Singh" then after requesting i can change them into "I am Pahul" ,  "Pahul Singh"
but if you choose only "Pahul" less chance need solid documents or "I am Singh" which may be not right choice.

This feature need your luck. I don't feel any particluar need for changing. I have request for change with documents but facebook reject and for another page i upload cover pic and choose almost different name and facebook accepts. :P I don't know what facebook want its may be your luck works.
