Deadname remover doesn't work with chosen name that doesn't have a middle name #486

My chosen name does not have a middle name (at least as of yet), but when Deadname Remover removes my full legal deadname, it keeps my former middle name.

Instead of: (Deadname First) (Deadname Middle) (Deadname Last) > (Chosen First) (Chosen Last), the result is: (Deadname First) (Deadname Middle) (Deadname Last) > (Chosen First) (Deadname Middle) (Chosen Last)

@quarlessam I have no idea if it'll work, but you could use a zero-width unicode character as your chosen middle name until you pick one out to solve this issue.

That's a great suggestion @GITwithWillow , and I'd imagine that will work. I believe this will be solved unintentionally in version 2.0.0 @quarlessam , but I'll keep this bug report on my radar to ensure it's fixed
