Facebook has always been strict to make sure people don’t create profiles with silly names, or even names of businesses or groups, and that will remain the same. But moving forward as of June 13th People will be allowed to use aliases.

Your alias will have to be alpha-numeric (plus periods) and it can be used as a direct method to access your Facebook profile page. That is, you will no longer need that 9-digit id in your Facebook web address.
