Comment on How do I get rid of my dead name in iPadOS settings?

It could also be, perhaps, someone’s given name before adoption gave them a new one. Or perhaps a meddling relative suggested a “better” name, and then the person went back to the one they were born with, leaving the relative’s name idea dead.

It’s not trans-exclusive (I fall into the latter category I mentioned) but it’s definitely a mostly trans concept

is a marriage a option too? (gay marriage included)

  Not generally. It generally refers to first names more than surnames. It also strongly implies that you actively want to kill the name off, not just move to the new one. It’s changing names with prejudice against the old one.
  
  Refering to someone by their maiden name is generally not considered insulting. Dead naming someone (after you’re aware) is extremely insulting.
