Bug Description

Evergreen uses the phrase “preferred name”, for many people this name is not simply a preference: it is the only name they use and it is central to their identity. For this reason, we are requesting the field be changed to “chosen name.”

I just want to point out that the labels in the staff clients and the OPAC can be changed with translations.

Staff at my library have suggested Name and Legal Name instead of Preferred Name and Primary Name or Chosen Name and Primary Name, but the basic desire to get away from Preferred Name is the same.
