Last time I tested, the original name also stays in Notifications.

For example, if DonnieT Likes one your posts, then changes his name to POTUS and then Likes another of your posts, your Notifications will look something like

❤ POTUS Obama Commemorative Wall  
…  
❤ DonnieT Oval Office Painted Sable?
