My suggestion is to give up trying to change your name. My wife never did. It was not really doable to get passport, drivers license, multiple ff accounts, and airline tickets all sych'd to a new name at the same time. Booking a ticket under a name that doesn't yet exist is asking for a headache if there is a hang-up in the process. For TSA Pre-Check, the ticket, ff account, and ID all have to match.

Your social friends can still call you Mrs Hubby's name.
