facebook.com/TheMostInterestingManAlive directs to your FB homepage.

Redirecting to home.php is the default behavior when accessing objects on Facebook that have been deleted.

This happens with pages, apps, groups, etc. I'm not surprised it happens with usernames, too.

facebook.com/TheMostInterestingManAlive directs to your FB homepage."

facebook.com/TheMostInterestingWomanAlive, on the other hand, returns Page not Found. This all works out ok for me, but my girlfriend finds it all a bit perplexing.

Some woman needs to take that :)

I considered taking an interesting/popular name, but realising that a whole heap of my private info is sitting on facebook, I'd do better not to attract attention.
