I show their names as "aka" or also known as. I also make a note of it in my notes. If you have a copy of the notice from the newspaper or actually the image of a public record would be even better, it would be good to include this with your sources. I had to do some research to get these sources, but I felt it was worth it. A couple of my mom's cousins changed their names legally when they became adults to reflect the last name of their stepfather who had helped raise them for the most part. A "legal notice" appeared in the classified section of the newspaper. Prior to obtaining this I had indicated the source of this info as "personal knowledge" and cited my mom as the source. I'm sorry this got rather lengthy, but I hope it helps...
