You should take a look at some of the other posts.

If she wants your name as her family name, she takes your name. The USCIS is aware that women who get married usually take their husband's last name. There is a spot on the G-325a to put her maiden name as well.

I used my current last name (hubby's last name) and put my maiden name as "middlename" which is what we normally do in the Phil.

My name on my GC then matches with that of my passport's.
