Yeah I’m trans and my wife is a cis lady and neither of our current legal names are our birth name. No one’s used my birth name for at least a decade but when we visit my in-laws I’m the only one who doesn’t call her by hers. Always amuses me when I stop to think about it.
One of my close friends goes by his middle name because he shared a first name with the man who mercilessly beat him at every opportunity. I go by a nickname because I share a name with a meth addict rodeo cowboy who was never a part of my life.
