I believe you have to get change your name legally to change your name on the passport (in Ontario you get a change of name certificate if you're born here, or else you get a new citizenship card). My father's name on all of this "info" (drivers licence, health card etc) is different from his legal name. When he wanted to get a passport he asked if his common name could be used on the passport. They told him straight out that he had to have his legal name on this passport - even though he doesn't use it.
but this is all location based - that's ontario... mass. could be different.
