      Doesn’t even need to be a particularly shitty name. All that’s necessary is the individual feels strongly enough about not being called their deadname.

          Irish names can be tough. Ive only text chatted with an online friend (This was early 2000 so voice chat wasnt common outside of raiding/coop games), and that meant that Ive trained in the completely wrong pronounciation of Siobhan (Im swedish) which made it weird when I met her and needed to retrain my brain.

        well… You HAVE To deadname twitter, I mean musk is pro dead naming since he would do it with his daughter all the time. So dead naming twitter is the right thing to do according to its new owner.

      Honestly, I’ve known someone who just wanted to escape a shitty family and cut ties.

      Removing their given name was a way to do it.

      Some parents really pick the shittiest names imaginable for their offspring and no one should blame the latter for changing them legally.

      One day all those girls who were named Khaleesi are gonna absolutely fill up the cemetery of deadnames.

      seems like its mostly white people deadnaming, shitty names. megan and MEGYN, elons probably the worst deadnamer. or 2 or 3 first names always ends up being a POS person. they try to make sound different, in order to get a reaction.
