A problem with Facebook’s vanity URLs

As you may know, Facebook has added custom profile URLs that are by default based on your real name. Your choice is understandably permanent, but that has at least one unintended consequence. At least in the United States, women usually change their last name when they get married, but they won’t be able to change their Facebook profile URL accordingly. That could be particularly bad in the event of a divorce, if a woman chose to revert her real name.
