USC name change back to maiden name - future problem?

[ECWilloughbys 7]

Hi VJers, we've received the EAD/AP card in the mail and just waiting on our GC now. I am the USC, and I ticked the name change box on our marriage license when we got married in December at city hall. I changed my name on my driver's license, bank account, and social security card, but since we didn't have any international travel on the near horizon, waited to shell out the money to change it on my passport. I have two questions now:

1) If we wanted to book an international flight now, could I still book the ticket in my maiden name and use my passport, even though it's legally changed on all my other ID?

2) Even after seven months, my new last name sort of weirds us both out. I'd like to change back it to my maiden name. Would it cause any red flags for future ROC if our new paperwork showed me using my maiden name again, or would they even care? We're very happily married, but I miss my old name.

Thanks!

1)yes

2)they don't care.... a name does not make a relationship better

Thank you! We feel the same about the name.

To be honest they might ask. Kinda like if you were planning on divorcing and starting the process of changing all your stuff back before then... but I doubt it's a major issue just explaining it sounds weird or what not.
