I wasn't aware that Madonna was part of her birth name; I do know that
performance names are usable as legal names for members of several
Hollywood performer unions.

I might be mistaken, but during his heyday, I was given to understand that
Péle was in fact his (entire) legal name, and that he had come from one of
the Brazilian cultures that (at the time) typically used only one name.
