A collector label where an individual has two or more sets of names, the individual will often fluctuate between the sets of the names. The sets may contradict each other in some way, this can be due to the names being different in what they are traditionally viewed as, for instance the individual may have a set of traditionally masculine names, and another set being traditionally feminine.
If none of the sets seem to fit, they may use a default name whether that be a chosen name or their deadname. |
