Spock's official name: S’chn T’Gai

You’d think he’d have had to have filled it out somewhere when he applied for Starfleet. I’m sure Kirk knows.

Oh please, Kirk didn't even know that Spock's father was the Vulcan Ambassador to Babel, or Spock's own father; until Sarek stepped on the deck of the ship, and because of a comment from his own mother Spock was suddenly forced to reveal Ambassador sarek and his wife Amanda were Spock's parents.

Ib Starfleet it's pretty clear everyone addressed Mister Spock as 'Spock'. The trial computer didn't say anything different when mr. Spock was called to testify about events that occurred in THE TOS S1 episode, "Court-Martial", so even if his first Vulkan name is a part of his Starfleet personnel file, he's obviously taken great pains to make sure it is not made public.:)

The trial computer's vocal circuits couldn't pronounce Spock's family name, either.
 
The more important question would be:
Has Spock ever told Kirk the name?
I have my doubts... ;)
Kirk knows it, at least once they’ve mind-melded, which they have. It’s not something that would’ve been buried deep, and probably it’d be right near the surface.

Kirk is Spock's best friend. Of course he didn't tell him. The next thing you know you'll be expecting people to tell their best friend about their fiancé, or half brother, or foster sister, or tragic death of a childhood pet, or who their parents are...

Unlike his family members, apparently...

That's exactly why i think he may have never told Jim the name ;)
