I'm translating a birth certificate and it mentions the maiden name of the mother in the classical German form "geborene", e.g

Heike Meyer geborene Schneider

What would be the correct English way:

Heike Meyer born Schneider

Heike Meyer maiden name Schneider

both feel weird. Any hint is appreciate
