The concept of a "real name" would mean nothing to Shakespeare or to any of his contemporaries. They did not care if you used a variant spelling of his name or the Latin form Guilliermus instead of the more common William.

What Shakespeare would say is "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." In other words, names aren't real. Nobody has a real name.

Convention has settled on the form William Shakespeare. That doesn't make it more real than any other form though.
