Name change on Facebook

I just want to share a disapointing experience with Facebook. My institution recently changed names; my library's name is build out of my institution's name so it changed as well (I'm still looking for that wealthy donor to grace our front door with his or her name). I had created both a Group and a Page for my library in Facebook. Figured I could simply edit the name of both, right? Wrong.

Is it because of the way they build their files names or set their links but there is no way of changing a name of an user, Group or Page. I have to start over with a new Page. Thankfully, I didn't have that many fans or group members that we should be able to have them all transfer through but imagine if we did? Bad enough I cannot transfer all the wall posts, the discussion board topics or the events.

Buyer beware (sigh).
