I do this. I put my mothers maiden name as my surname on job applications. When I have to fill out w2 paperwork they can see that it’s not my legal name, but I haven’t been questioned thus far. If they did I would simply explain that I plan to change my legal surname and prefer to be addressed that way. Just don’t make it seem like you’re trying to purposefully hide your identity.
