It is NEVER a good idea to have the legal paperwork and reality vary, but in the real world if you do not do anything to initiate a name change, it probably will never be noticed by anyone, anywhere. The problems tend to come up when someone goes half-way -- and their driver's license does not match their Social Security card or driver's license.
