W-2 tax question: change name with former employer?

I changed my legal name during my oath ceremony in September 2014, and I also updated the Social Security Administration of my name change after I received my passport. I worked two jobs last year (moved to a new company in March 2014), so I should receive two W-2s: one from the company that employed me January through March, and one from my current employer.

My SSN is still the same... Will it matter that my W-2 from my former employer doesn't match my new name? Only my first name has changed.

My old company was acquired by a much larger company after I left, and I don't know who handles HR there. If it came down to it, I could reach out and ask for help from my former colleagues but I'd prefer not to, especially if it won't make a difference to the IRS or SSA.

Thanks in advance!
