@Tattie @ActuallyAnnalise @Terra @Tweetfiction This relates to my me not using "deadname" for myself. I don't mind mine. It's an uncommon girl's name too (so was my middle name somehow), and I plan to keep it as my new middle name. It just wasn't affirming enough to use as a first name.

I tend to call my old first name my "assigned name". I like the sound of "given name" more, but the way that term is usually used on forms, etc. means it would apply to my new chosen name as well.
