    Hi all,

    So here's the deal...

    I'm taking screenshots of FB posts referencing the relationship between my fiancee and I. And I'm grabbing chats and calls between us via FB Messenger. Now, my fiancee uses a nickname on FB, which bears no resemblance to her real name. It goes back to before I met her, and she says she doesn't want to use her full name on social media for privacy reasons etc.

    So, I've put a note at the start of the various sections, explaining to the ECO that she uses the nickname, and that you can see they're her posts by the pictures she's posting, and the name by which her friends are addressing her in comments.

    So, do you think this will be alright? Does anyone have any real experience with this? Will an ECO accept my declaration that this is the same person? Or would it be a lesser risk to exclude all our FB interaction since we met? (which is basically 8 months of all our calls and messages so I'd rather not do this).

    I can change my fiancee's nickname (to her real name) via my FB Messenger window, but I highly doubt it changes her name in posts I see. Also, I'd be "cheating" the system somewhat and I'd rather just be honest about it.
