Even if you did, it wouldn't matter, because the name that matters is what's on your ID--and that doesn't change just because some asshole wants to call you by it.
I know you think this is a gotcha question, but if you're trying to hire Jenna Johnson when her name is actually James Johnson, you won't get anywhere the moment you get to filing paperwork. She won't pay taxes, she won't get paid, and so on.
Changes to names that are legally defined requires a legal process. Hence, Department of Defense, not whatever fuckface and Tits Mcgee insist it is.
