After updating my legal name, can I expect my original and separate developer name to stay intact?

When an organisation adds an app to an account the first time, it may choose a developer name different to its legal name. Can I expect my previously chosen developer name to stay exactly as it was before after I update my legal name?

I've heard that for developers who decide to choose a different name, when/if the legal entity name has to be changed at a later stage, the App Store Connect company name is also changed to the legal entity name accordingly. But are terms App Store Connect company name and Developer Name, interchangeable? Do they refer to the same thing?

If any change to a legal name means losing an originally accepted developer name irreversibly , doesn't it contradict Apple statement that a developer name cannot be edited or updated later?

After updating my legal name, can I expect my original and separate developer name to stay intact?
