James Donald David Bowman, has requested that he be referred to as JD (formerly J.D.) Vance, his preferred (chosen) name.
Yesterday, James called Kamala “phony.”
Ok, I’m certainly not one to defend such a prick, but his name change may be more than simply being phony. His father’s name is Donald, so that’s where his original middle name came from. When he was young, his parents divorced and his mother changed his middle name to David so as not to be named after his father. Id say that one was out of his control. As for the Vance surname, that came from his grandparents who he claimed raised him and his sister due his mother being a struggling drug addict. Though it appears that his legal name change to Vance occurred in 2013.
How do you feel about “James Vance, who identifies as JD”? It’s a mildly odd but not really disrespectful thing to call him, but I bet people who make dumb attack helicopter jokes will lose their shit over it.

You can’t make this stuff up. So I didn’t.
Where does he land on deadnaming?

Do with that information what you will.

Wow, James David’s father and his daddy both have the same first name! Crazy world
