It’s usually the birth name of a transgender person who has transitioned to a new name of their choosing. So like if Dave decided they want to be Lindsey, calling Lindsey “Dave” would be dead naming them
A “dead name” or “deadname” is the term for the name given at birth to a person who has turned out to be transgender and changed their name as part of their transition. Knowing that a person has a preferred name and intentionally using their dead name is a fairly hostile act.
What is a dead name?

Got it, interesting to call them ‘dead’ names.
They are literally dead names, that is, names that had once not been, but now are, dead.

Its the name you will have on your tombstone, not whatever name you call yourself.
You realize tombstones have nicknames and whatever the dead called themselves, right?
Im just answering what does it mean. I know you can write your name as colonel “its britney bitch” sanders if you want
