Since dead people can't do business, there's no reason to make a "legal" name change. Of course, people can be called all sorts of things, and after death, they can't object. Sometimes what a person is called during his life isn't his official name and sometimes after he's dead, people revert to the "real" name, and sometimes they don't.

Ulysses Grant wasn't Grant's name; it was Hiram, but he didn't like the initials HUG. Charlemagne's name was Karl; his son Louis's name was Ludwig. Nicholas Copernicus's name was Mikolaj Kupernik. Saladin's name wasn't Saladin; it was Yusef ibn Ayyub. Chief Joseph's name was "Thunder rolling over the mountains" (in Nez Perce). Geronimo's name was Gothalay ("One who yawns"). Gerald Ford's name was Leslie King.

No.

The only way someone's name can be changed is through marriage (surname) or that person has to go to court and request a name change (first name).

Since the person is dead, they can't marry nor go to court.
