Abstract: This study aims at investigating gender differences in the naming behaviors (pseudonyms and real names) of the Facebook profiles among young Algerians. The study corpus consisted of 1867 Facebook profiles (1267 females and 600 males). These were the profiles in the networks of 22 students from Constantine university, who participated in the study.
