I usually use the term "birth name" as opposed to "dead name." I know that some people are more adamant on one or the other. "Former name" is also one I have used. I agree with you on that for the most part who I was in the past leads to who I am now. Thank you for your videos and posts Carver.
phoenixresurge I also always say my "Birth Name". Just yesterday I met another person here at the conference whose first name is Tara and I super excited to say "hey, we share the same Birth name"...

I think it cool when you do come across someone who has the same name (or nicknames) as yours if it is something that you don't come across a lot.
Darlin, I feel that way in every crowd. 🙄
