Facebook has a name policy and you can not allowed to use your middle name. The author took to Twitter to voice his discontent and Facebook eventually relented. They had to as there was no other choice because in real life Salman Rushdie is know as Salman Rushdie. Since the Ahmed has been dropped. We have previously covered the Facebook Name policy and you can read about it here.
