Could be related to [[Embarrassing First Name]], but that is more about an annoyance. This one is more prideful and dramatic.
For obvious reasons, this is very common with [[transgender]] characters — [[Truth in Television|and transgender people in Real Life]]. There's a specific name to identify this context: "[[deadnaming]]" is addressing someone by a name which they abandoned when they transitioned, while "misgendering" is addressing someone by [[Pronoun Trouble|the wrong pronouns]]. Both are to be avoided at all costs.<ref>For legal and medical reasons, this is not followed whenever it relates to critical health treatment and medical information from their their birth name is referred to, and this can not be used to dodge legal responsibilities for crime, as legal name changes are documented and crimes committed under one name will follow the succeeding name, unless they have been expunged.</ref>
And then there's [[Porn Names|porn]], where performers would understandably want to keep their legal names and their stage names very separate.
