"Preferred name" or "legal or real name" would solve both issues. |

The hardest part is making a name "appear in an official document", see |
| 15 |
links on this website, for example: |

Or there (for every country, see "Name change" sections): |

I live in Russia, here it's impossibly to change a traditionally |
| 22 |
masculine nave to a traditionally feminine one and vice versa without |
| 23 |
getting a medical diagnosis, having one-two month's salary to pay for a |
| 24 |
commission so they give (or they don't) a document which is only valid |
| 25 |
for a year to change a birth certificate (with legislators constantly |
| 26 |
trying to outlaw even this three-ring circus). |
