Do I need to Change my name on the passport for I-551

Hey Guys,

 

I hace applied for my 10 yr GC and my N-400. Sadly my field office is terribly slow due to the hurricane we had last year. June of 2019 is when my 18 month extension expires and I would have to get my I-551 extension on my passport. My passport still has my "maiden" name while I changed my name after my marriage to take my husband's name. 

SO here is the question,

 

Do i need to have my name changed on my passport in order to get the i-551 stamp?

I don't think you have to BUT do you really want to have to remember to book any flights in your maiden name? Having all your IDs as one surname would be much easier in my opinion. Someone else will probably answer if it's an absolute must.
