i wish i could change my legal name to my preferred one :( im nonbinary and my new name aligns with who i am a lot more but im under my parents insurance and my parents dont know about my stalker but ive contacted police and my stalker has since left me alone (been ab 6 months, but if i came back w my real name they’d harass me again. i dont know who it is.)

Not at all, that's completely valid reasons not to want to share your legal name
