how do I show my name?

Hello,

I was originally born a Wallace. However when I was 6 years old my stepfather adopted me and changed my last name to Armstrong, so on my family tree I have my last name showing as Armstrong.

So in order to prevent confusion for future generations, how do I need to show my last name on my family tree? Do I need to put my original last name in parenthesis or brackets? Something like this:


----- WALLACE
|
(WALLACE) ARMSTRONG----|
|
----- PALMER

What is the proper way to do this?
