Allow the use of Gaelic names as user names, including the need for, and use of, special characters, such as an apostrophe.
The Issue
Facebook has started deciding which names are real and which are not. The Gaelic version of my name was deemed not to be a real name. I was obliged to provide a name that FB deemed as real with the threat that my account would be closed if I didn't comply.
Facebook must realise that Scottish Gaelic is a living language and allow the use of Gaelic names.
