    Everyone who appears in a yearbook typically has a special photo taken for it. It would not be that hard to take a moment at that time to check whether the student has a preferred name

      How would you ask the students?

      The portraits are usually done by a third party photography company, and schools aren’t going to pay extra to have that company ask.

        When I was in school, we had to submit a form to the yearbook community with the proper spelling of our name every year

          Was it mostly successful? I feel It seems like wrong names or spellings in yearbooks is pretty common.

            I’m reasonably certain that it was. I dont remember ever seeing an incorrect name as long as someone submitted their form.
