This quote comes from a paragraph about how his parents named their children. Jermaine was referring to the birth name (the first legal name) and exact legal name (if no sources indicate a formal legal name change) which may differ from the common name. Note that "Marilyn Monroe" is not a birth name even though it is on documents throughout her adult life e.g. her will, death certificate, autopsy report, etc. And even before she legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, it was used on legal documents that are not primary identification and do not have explicit statements about the "true name" by a government agency or court (so the name may be a new name acquired by the "usage method", which is permitted in California). Also, Marilyn's mother changed the spelling of the father's surname on Marilyn's birth certificate, and Marilyn changed the spelling of her surname on her first marriage certificate (see further below).

* Churchwell p.144: "The name on her birth certificate is Norma Jeane Mortenson [Churchwell p.142]; the name on her baptismal certificate is Norma Jeane Baker; the name on her first marriage license is Norma Jeane Mortensen [Spoto p.75, page image '...on the marriage certificate the bride had signed "Norma Jeane Mortensen." She wrote that she was the daugher of "E. Mortensen...and of a woman named "Monroe, born in Oregon." She did not supply her mother's first name...']. The name by which her "original" identity is popularly known is Norma Jean Baker."
- In the "Acknowledgements" of Donald Spoto's biography, Spoto acknowledges assistance from people who knew Marilyn, and various archives and special collections including "materials that include her production and legal files as well as various personal documents, tapes..." from the estate of Milton H. Greene ("Marilyn's friend, photographer and business partner").
- Spoto pp.13-14, page image: ...the birth certificate identifies her as the daughter of Gladys Monroe...So easy was it, then as now, to omit, invent, and alter one's record, that Gladys simply claimed that her two earlier children had died. She added creatively that the residence of her husband, a baker she designated as "Edward Mortenson," was unknown. The child's birth registration in the California Board of Health's Vital Statistics stated her name as Norma Jeane Mortenson. In her youth, she was sometimes known as Norma Jeane Baker. From the age of twenty, she was Marilyn Monroe, but she declined to make that her legal name until seven years before her death.'
- Churchwell p.140: "According to both Summers and Spoto, Gladys then married a "Martin Edward Mortensen", from whom she separated after several months; he was apparently, not even in California when Gladys became pregnant in 1925."

He was also not a baker, the occupation listed on the birth certificate. "Baker" was the last name of Gladys's first husband, John Newton Baker called Jasper. In the following years, Gladys most often called herself Gladys Baker and designated Norma Jeane as Norma Jeane Baker.'

^ Variance in the name can be allowed when the name is not being explicitly stated as the legal/true name and the identity is certain by other factors e.g. the stage name Marilyn Monroe was used on legal agreements, hospital records, tax documents, bank documents, and FBI documents, years before it became her legal name by a court order name change. There was also variance in her name and her mother's name on Marilyn's first marriage certificate, in the typed "maiden name of bride" on her second marriage certificate, and in the name of her father on her birth certificate.

California Courts: Change an Adult's Name
http://www.courts.ca.gov/1051.htm
'Note: In California, you generally have the legal right to change your name simply by using a new name in all aspects of your life, also known as the "usage method." (Exceptions to this rule: http://www.courts.ca.gov/1054.htm#acc2235 "people who are in state prison, on probation, on parole, or been a convicted sex offender. And it cannot be used to change a minor's name.")
BUT, with few exceptions, government agencies require a court order as official proof of a name change' e.g. California DMV http://dmv.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.htm#truename, U.S. State Department http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/passports/services/correction.html#Changes -> "If you have begun using a different name but cannot legally document the change with a court order, divorce decree, or marriage certificate [i.e. "use of spouse’s surname" on pp.10-13 of "NAMES TO BE USED IN PASSPORTS" manual] ...You must also present a valid ID issued in the name you currently use. You may also need to provide secondary identification evidence that you have been using the name for at least 5 years, if your ID is less than 5 years old."
- The length of a name does not affect whether it is a legal name or birth name e.g. Jo is a legal middle name of his sister Janet Jackson, born Janet Damita Jo Jackson. The U.S. Department of State has the same requirements for shortening or lengthening a name on a passport to a nickname or a formal name derivative of the name:

(7) Using Nickname or Formal Name instead of Legal Name with proper identification. A passport may be issued in an applicant’s nickname or formal name if it is a common derivative of the given name shown on the citizenship evidence (for example, Jim for James, Susan for Sue);"
- "Identification documentation" that "reflects the name requested" is described in
"7 FAM 1330 APPENDIX C CHANGE OF NAME WITHOUT COURT ORDER (CUSTOMARY NAME CHANGE) (CT:CON-311; 08-07-2009)" on p.8:
"The applicant must present an acceptable identification reflecting the acquired name and original or certified copies of three or more public documents evidencing that he or she has used the acquired name generally for five years or longer. The documentary evidence, which must show the acquired name and one other piece of identifying data, (such as date of birth, place of birth, age, or Social Security number)..."

* He used the name Michael Joe Jackson consistently in his early career. It is is the only name explicitly identified by prominent sources with access to the original documents as the name on primary evidence of citizenship (birth certificate) and primary identification (drivers license with his DMV record and license application) and as his "true name" (i.e. legal name) during his lifetime by the FBI (with access to all of his U.S. government ID) and California Superior Court (with access to his passport). The birth name is the original name of the child on the birth certificate and the first legal name; and can be seen as the only legal name if no sources document a formal change of legal name e.g. primary identification with the new name, a court order name change, etc.
* His autopsy report states "ID METHOD: CALIFORNIA DRIVERS LICENSE" on p.1 but did not include an image of the license.

These instructions pertain to the 2003 revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Death.
NAME OF DECEDENT: For use by physician or institution
The left-hand margin of the certificate contains a line where the physician or hospital can write in the name of the decedent. This allows the hospital to assist in completing the death certificate before the body is removed by the funeral director. However, because the funeral director is responsible for completion of the personal information about the decedent and because the hospital frequently does not have the complete legal name of the decedent, the hospital or physician should enter the name they have for the decedent in this item. The funeral director will then enter the full legal name in item 1."

"Who may purchase birth and death certificates?
Indiana law (IC16-37-1-10 ) specifically requires a purchaser of a birth or death certificate to have a direct interest. A direct interest is defined as a documented personal financial or legal interest in the record, or immediate kinship (parent, grandparent, or adult sibling) to the person named on the record."

'Informational Copy
If you cannot obtain an authorized copy under California law, you can obtain an informational copy. An informational copy contains the same information as an authorized copy, but will have a legend across the face with the statement "INFORMATIONAL, NOT A VALID DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH IDENTITY."
