He is calling her by her old name.

Deadnaming refers to the act of using someone's original name - a dead name is the name which no longer exists, or which a person (usually a transgender person) no longer uses given that he/she has adopted a new name. Marie's father is deadnaming her, which means that he calls her Max, even though that is not her name anymore.
