    I had enough fans to claim my "vanity" name.
    I had a couple of pages and had renamed one. When i went to claim my name for my profile page, I enter the name of one of my fanpages.

    Is there anything I can do to change the profile page name again.

    Yes, it's in your account settings somewhere but you can only change it once.

    If you want to change the page name your fan count must be less than 100.But as you say vanity name,which denotes username ie., something like facebook.com/something... that cant be change if set once...

    i have made a similar mistake i had my profile page named with the username i liked to use for one of my pages. Now with 25 fans i renamed my profile page, so i could use my previous profile name as my business page name. But now it says " it's not avalaible"

    Anyone knows what i should do ?

    I have not tried to get it still; but I have 250 fans. I do not know the minimum number of fans required to get "vanity" name. Can any one tell me that please?

    The minimum number is only 25, I believe. But once you set the vanity URL, I don't think you can change it up.
