A deadname is a trans term only, for cisgender people its birth name and/or old name.
Trans being people under the trans umbrella (trans men, trans women, nonbinary, agender, non cis demiboys, non cis demigirls.)
He's trans and his name is now Elliot and you shouldn't deadname him.
Their deadname is unimportant since they prefer another name.
Her deadname got leaked and she's devastated.

Disrespectfully calling someone by their old name after they have changed their name. In particular, this is something done to transgender people.
"Well I've always known you as James, so I'm going to keep calling you James."
"Stop deadnaming me. My name is Jamie."

A deadname is the unused (birth)name of someone who changed their name, wether it has officially been changed or not. So technically, it's a dead name.
You could also call it a deadname because everyone who deadnames you shall become the dead /j
Person A: “Hi there deadname!”
Person B: “Oh hi! I probably didn't tell you yet but I changed my name to ______! I would appreciate if you used that name for me instead.”

Referring to someone by the name they were born with instead of the name they chose for themselves after their mental breakdown.
"Hey James!"
"I've told you before, my name is Jamie now. Stop deadnaming me."
"Shut the fuck up James. It doesn't matter that you've had your dick removed. That doesn't make you a woman, it just makes you a man without a dick. Now put the fucking kettle on."
