Transgender Patients - Legal/Preferred Naming on medication labels

Hi,
Our institutions were presented with a proposal for medication labels with the ability to put both the legal and preferred name on the label.

Does anyone have any experience with this topic or can share if there are any recommendations out there?

I have found the following so far:

Thank you,
