I still have not tackled the direct deposit/signature card yet. If I decide to sign it as First Middle DBA FIRST MIDDLE LAST, I would think that I would have to have my DL match the account id at the bank...correct? Also, wouldn't be easier to open a new account rather than try to amend the old one?

What damage would it do to sign the signature card as First Middle Last....the name that is originally on the account? Then you wouldn't have to change the DL.

Thanks in advance.
The remedy is for everybody. So you sign how you like. If you want to sign truthfully you will sign for LAST, FIRST M on your driver license First Middle, legibly. Then sign the Signature Card First Middle dba FIRST MIDDLE LAST like on your account. Now your driver license will support that your true name is First Middle.
