I am getting married soon.  From what I have read, I understand
I can legally choose to keep my name or change it, as long as I
do so consistently.  Ideally I would like to change my name for
personal use (the idea of everyone in my new family having the
same name appeals to me), but keep my name (&reputation) at work.
At a later time when I changed jobs and my old name didn't mean
anything to anyone I would use my new name everywhere.

In some professions (e.g., acting) people have "professional" and
private names.  Is there any way I could do that?  My main concern
is my paycheck (could I cash it if it were in my maiden name)
and my IRS records.
