You may want to consider a legal name change. Go to your county courthouse and pick up the papers. You will need your birth certificte and your old ssn card.
You can then have a legal name. I don't quite understand which name you wish to use, but the name change procees is usually handled without a lawyer is not very expensive.
Good luck.
