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.

I think the concept applies to everything.

I, for example, am deadnaming twitter.

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.
