Is it a good price though? The average wage for a commoner is 2 sp per day. The equivalent to 100 days wages for a unskilled worker.
Skilled workers earn about 2 gp per day. So this represents 10 days wages. A better bargain for sure.
Adventurers are always loaded with money, so as players our view is skewed.
2 gp per day
I'm this economy?

Hell of a lot faster than going through the courthouse for a name change. Probably cheaper and more effective too.

Yeah, the adventurers really skew the economy. They just casually stroll up and loot hundreds of GP from an ancient crypt, awaken a long-forgotten lich, and then fuck off. It’s always up to the city guard to put down the inevitable undead army that the lich has raised. It truly is the definition of “capitalism for thee, socialism for me.”

I'd go back to college to study apellomancy in a heartbeat.

“Here’s an itemized bill. 1 copper piece for waving my hands around. 1 copper piece for the incantation. 1 copper piece for the scroll... 97cp, 9sp, and 19gp for the education and experience to know which hand waving, incantations, and spell scrolls to use.”
Seriously, every single freelancer or contractor has gotten the “Well I could have done that, what the hell am I paying you for? That only took you like 10 minutes” response after their education and experience makes the job look easy.

But the real answer is the wizard and the commoners should band together and overthrow the <insert King/Lich/Dragon/Head Wizard> who takes all of the wealth and prevents the formation of a magical post-scarcity society.
The wizard could start by renaming the King "Little Baby Commoner"

That can be an interesting story. Adventurer with their gold coins wreck a village economy until the taxperson comes

I wonder whether an over-abundance of gold or other coins could lead to people using the gold for other purposes (such as magical reagents). I don't know enough about how real world inflation works to speculate about how the fantasy version would work.

10-100 days wages for seemingly a lifetime of prevented deadnaming and misgendering? That seems like a good deal to me.

Not a bad deal, but quite expensive still

Fun fact, in a Campaign I'm playing, my Fey Bard simply "stole" the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it's awesome for everyone
The classic: "May I have your name?" blunder

This is priceless!
It sounded like a scene from liar liar to me.
