As much as I like this idea, I feel I need to point out that the fae don't just take your name, but rather they use it to control you.

Somehow, I feel that's worse than giving up your deadname. Being controlled by your deadname sounds like a nightmare!

I get this, but I also remember seeing a conversation that went something like this.

Fae: "Can i have your name?"

TF: "j̶̢̧̩̻̯̣̻͓̲̟͉̿̏̔͋̀͌̓ǫ̸̧̨͎͈͖̘͉̝̹̤̝̀̍͛̂̐̒h̷̨̦̩̣̠͖͎̬̭̦̻͌̆̇͜n̶͇̮͔̤̭̐̈́̐͆͆̾͝"

Fae, in dread: "What is.... this abomination.... take it back!!!!"

TF: "Nope, it's yours now."

Sounds very Dresden Files

But doesn't that only apply to your real name? I though that the deadname was exactly the opposite to the real one!

As one of us is a fae, we offer this service as well.
