So...your ancestors assembled and carried bundles of sticks? XD
Well, now that I'm far past school age I think that is an AWESOME surname! However, I can imagine the inevitable teasing wouldn't have been pleasant at all, especially in an American school. >_<
If FB banned you because of your name I will laugh and laugh and also highly suggest you submit the story to various press. I bet someone would want that story!

They also sold them for profit! ^_^
Honestly I didn't get any teasing for it in school - neither did my brother. The 'worst' we get is people desperately trying to pronounce it in a PC way.
Sometimes they ignore that its an F altogether which is pretty riotous. I've heard people say Saggotter, so often its super hilarious. I've also had businesses call me up unsolicited and ask my name, and then hang up on me because they think I'm giving them a fake name. Good times.
If it IS because of my name, I'm going to find it pretty hilarious myself, BUT I hope they don't delete my Mum's account as I'd rather she not have to go through this. Also I'd rather not give Dad the ammunition because he already things Facebook is the spammy devil and that Mum shouldn't have an account.
Eh, honestly, I don't care enough. xD I care enough to like, post here with the lulziness of what's going on and how completely inadequate they are, but that's about it.
Honestly if it wasn't so useful for organising stuff and if I didn't have to have one for work purposes (the aforementioned app creation etc) I'd just go "Whatev" and not get it reactivated xD
Wow, Stilgherrian has some RAGE! O_O;; xD
And yeah I've had to put my not real name on many things in years gone by - at one point I was attempting to work on genealogy stuff with my Dad and we couldn't search for our names on many popular genealogy sites/services because of profanity filtering.
But if this is in fact the reason my account was deleted, then they already have proof that it is in fact my actual name, so they've ballsed it up there and how!
Facebook has been doing lots of stupid stuff lately. I logged on one day after being gone for like 4 and I had several notifications that my "messaging" was temporarily being disabled because I had used it to much in the last 24 hours. But I hadn't even been on in at least 4 days.
Ugh, the lack of response feels so unprofessional. I guess they're lucky that you seem more amused/bemused by this than outraged, since this seems like the kind of thing that could blow up into a PR nightmare for them if the wrong person was offended.

Anyway, make a scene. Get the media involved if you can. It's just PATHETIC of these companies to try to determine whose names are correct or not.
