Welcome back!
Facebook is planning to offer Facebook usernames to make it easier for people to find and connect with you. When your friends, family members or co-workers visit your profile or Pages on Facebook, they will be able to enter your username as part of the URL in their browser. This way people will have an easy-to-remember way to find you. Facebook also expects to offer even more ways to use your Facebook username in the future. So, get your username before somebody else does!
Your new Facebook URL is like your personal destination, or home, on the Web. It will be like Twitter. (http://twitter.com/username) This feature of Facebook will be easier to find people via search engines like Google, etc.
Currently your Facebook profile url looks like this
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789
Now you can change it to
http://www.facebook.com/yourname
Starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Saturday, June 13, you’ll be able to choose a username on a first-come, first-serve basis for your profile and the Facebook Pages that you administer by visiting www.facebook.com/username/. You’ll also see a notice on your home page with instructions for obtaining your username at that time.
Think carefully about the username you choose. Once it’s been selected, you won’t be able to change or transfer it.

I got my name as the username.
You don’t need 1,000 Fans to get your own username.
Your Facebook account must be registered before June 9 as the only criteria.
