Interesting Question
Another question appeared on another notary forum.
If documents are prepared in a signers nick name, such as Pat when the legal name is Patricia, and the signer had ID that states Pat, can you notarize in that name?
The other forum says you can't because you are aware that the legal name is Patricia and that you can't get around it by using the AKA as you would have to notarize Pat and her AKA as Patricia.

If I see ID that says Pat and the docs say Pat, I don't care if her "legal" name is Barthalomew. Docs and ID match, it's good enough for me

I agree with you. I think this whole issue is a nonissue

You see all over the place that people can use any name in a contract, and in other affairs, as long as the name isn't used for deceptive purposes. If you can use the name, then I don't see why the name can't be notarized. As far as I'm concerned, I should be allowed to acknowledge before a notary a document that I signed "VT_Syrup" provided I could prove to the notary beyond a reasonable doubt that I was using that name (just so long it wasn't a contract for the sale of syrup made in some other state). I imagine the notary would want to record my birth certificate name in his journal.
I have applied for, and been granted, a patent under a nickname, and the patent attorney didn't think there was any problem using a nickname. (The patent application had to be filed before the product could be offered for sale, everything was a last-minute rush, and there wasn't time to redraw the application in the name that appears on my birth certificate.)

You know computers have clocks, right? For example, my computer has a 2.2 GHz clock. That clock has to be passed around inside some of the computer chips, like the processor. The patent was for a better way of passing the clock signal around inside a computer chip.
