Of course, it would have explained to Lois why she remembered his as "Chuck". Of course, all his random obscure writing samples had the name "Clark Kent" on them. It would have been too much lying to change his name completely.
Clark:Plus, it is not like I am going to mess up if I am using my real name. If I had been going by Charles King and Perry had yelled "King get in here" I might have forgotten he was talkking to me. With going by Jerome around the Kents, Martha always would yell "Clark Jerome Kent, come clean you room" or other things. So an angry Martha yelling "Jerome" and meaning me will cue in my mind very easily. Anyway, I was trying to not interact with them very much at all.
