Facebook "game" - a scam or just for fun?

There is a new "game" going around FB. The idea is to create a fun "Royal" name in honor of the recent nuptials. You are to begin by either posting Lord or Lady, then string along one of your grandparents names, then your first pet's name, then the street you live(or lived) on. At first it sounds cute and charming to have a long name such as Lady Gwendolyn/Kitty/1st (as in street). Then the instructions say to post it to your profile page on FB.

Personally I think this is a very bad idea. A lot of this information is something you might be using as one of those security questions when you "forget your password" to a site.

Facebook is already collecting information based on what you post. Some hacker could be trying to collect your security information.

Just my opinion. Hope that helps. Be safe!
