| Guide for use: | CODE LGL Legal name Legal name of the client as defined by the organisation which collects it. Legal name is not defined within this value domain. CODE AKA Also known as (or Aliases) Any other name that a person is also known by, or has been known by in the past. This includes misspelt names or name variations that are to be retained as they have been used to identify this person. More than one alias name may be recorded for a person. CODE MDN Maiden name The family name of any party prior to being changed at marriage. Traditionally the term ‘Maiden Name’ means the family name of a woman before she is married, this was specifically due to the tradition of a woman taking the man's family name at the time of marriage. Now many couples are using hybrid or merged names to reflect the heritage of both parties in the marriage, thus both parties are changing their names at marriage. This should be reflected in the usage of the term ‘Maiden Name’ as it should now be used for both sexes. The usage of Maiden name should remain consistent for same sex couples, where one or both of the parties change their name at Civil Union. CODE NEW New born This is reserved for the identification of unnamed newborn babies. CODE PRF Preferred name This is to be associated the name by which the person chooses to be identified. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Comments: | The codes are not mutually exclusive and their association with a person’s family name and/or given name will depend on the context in which this information is collected or exchanged. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
