Chosen name

A chosen name is a title/name that is preferred by a person, while not being a legal name. Chosen names are often used for nicknames, but have become popular with trans and non-binary individuals who feel their legal name does not suit their identity.

"My name is Robert, but I prefer to go by Bob, it's my Chosen name."
"Alrighty then, Bob."
