Permitted name changes due to a marriage vary from state to state. Most states (IIRC) permit the Filipino naming style changes: First Middle Maiden -> First Maiden Married (or various hyphenated forms or multiple names). If your state doesn't permit your desired name change due to marriage, you may need to go through a legal name change process in your state.

 

USCIS will accept any current legal name for the AOS documents.
