I looked at the act and I don't see anything claiming that ID and legal birth names have to match. Birth certificate only has to be provided if you have no ID showing you were born in US

… what ID shows you were born in the US? I was born here, am a citizen, have a passport, but don’t have such a thing. Aside from my birth certificate. What else is there?

  I don't know about your passport, but my passport has a field for country of birth.

  My passport says I was born in New Jersey. I suspect yours lists your state of birth as well.

    Yeah, you and the sibling are probably right and I’m just unobservant (if I could remember where the hell it is at the moment I’d verify, but probably it’s in there)

  Your passport does. According to https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs "Yes. All states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 territories are REAL ID compliant and issuing REAL ID compliant driver’s licenses and IDs." So from my understanding all DLs would qualify too (Except maybe older ones that were issued before real id?)

    Last I checked, we’re just a little over 50% with real id. That’s why they’ve kept pushing back the requirement to have one to fly (they might finally do it this time?) I’ve tried to get one twice since they started doing them, in two different states, and failed to have one thing or another on the bills and paystubs and such that I took in, so don’t have one. My wife’s got it even worse, they need an original of our marriage certificate (due to the name change) and that’s gone missing. She hasn’t bothered to screw with it, because she’s got a passport anyway (which, as you note, will do after all, I was wrong)
