The notion of removing references to a person's original name is completely asinine. I don't care if you call it dead naming to try and shame the people that do it. I call it accuracy. You don't get to erase history just because you've decided to change your name and identity.
You want people to refer to you by some new name now? Sure, whatever. Change your name legally and introduce yourself by your new name going forward. Most people will make an effort to learn your new name if they have any investment in your existence at all. And the people that don't care whether you exist or not won't care anyway. You don't matter to them. They probably won't refer to you at all.
You want people to change the way they remember past events when you went by another name and presented yourself in another manner though? Go fuck yourself. My memories about you and the way I explain them to others isn't within the realm of your control.
