Given the context, it would be terms of legally transitioning someone's gender marker.

No clue how true it is. I think this is the proposal for the law, but I don't know German, so finding the actual bill seems challenging: https://perma.cc/DML8-XWED

S2 paragraph 3 seems to say they may choose 1 or more names, but idk the nuances of the language to know if that means choosing 0 new names is not allowed?

I searched a bit more online but couldn't find any more information on this. The text you shared is from last year. But even in there change of one's gender marker isn't linked to a change in name. The linked text even talks about changing the name or gender marker.

The final version of §2 (3) SBGG is linked on https://www.bundestag.de/dokumente/textarchiv/2024/kw15-de-geschlechtseintrag-997406

Mit der Erklärung nach Absatz 1 sind die Vornamen zu bestimmen, die die Person zukünftig führen will und die dem gewählten Geschlechtseintrag entsprechen.

Ah OK, that clarifies it then. Thanks!

I think overall it is a huge win for all TIN people, although it is unfortunate how rigid rules for names and gender still are...
