The solution proposed is still not a solution because of the burden it imposes on anyone who has ever changed their name - or whose birth was not registered as a routine matter.

Proving citizenship to vote (the SAVE act) is utter nonsense. There is a miniscule number of non-citizens voting - every investigation verifies this. It is a non-problem. You proposed a way to address the non-problem - which does not actually address the problem with the SAVE act (even though it is not a problem in the first place).
