Would prefer it to be "other names" or "alias" rather than "maiden" specifically!

This would be convenient when there's a character who has changed their name. I do agree that the "Former Name" descriptor would be more versatile than simply "Maiden Name." Both would be cool. Maybe where would show in the sidebar? I'm pretty sure the relationships tab keeps the family trees in line so I'm not worried about the family tracking.

I whole-heartedly agree. Though I still enjoy pointless French so I still plan to use "nee" when describing my characters in their profile

YES but I like the idea of former name instead. Some of my characters changed their names after deep spiritual experiences or magic permanently shifted their appearence.

former name would probably more useful at large. Could handle instances where a character shifts identity permanently

Or the more generic former name(s). This would be different from also known as. Especially if you could indicate when the names were active.

Spot for Maiden Names

Spot for Maiden Names

There is no field to input someone's maiden name/last name when they were single. Adding an option in the "Naming" section of the "Character" template would rectify this. This would make for easier tracking of family lines without having to use the "Middle Name" field.
