Some states will recognize your foreign marriage certificate as lawful change of name document. Some, reported to include Colorado, will not, but offer a work around in the form of a re-marriage license, service, and certificate.
Changing name by naturalization can be difficult. The core problem is that in the U.S. only a judge can administer oaths of citizenship that include a change name. There are on the order of 1000 federal judges, and one million people naturalizing each year. Depending on the field office that can mean a longer wait. Some field offices will all but flat out refuse a change of name.
Even if you get a change of name oath, the actual change of name document is not the naturalization document as you might expect. When it does not show up, there can be a finger pointing exercise between the court and USCIS.
