We suggest that you do not change your name as same can create problem in your US university.

I will not suggest doing that as this may pose a challenge verifying your educational credentials and matching other relevant details if you will ever apply for a nonimmigrant visa such as H-1/L-1 both by the Department of Homeland Security and by the Department of State. To maintain consistency, it is advisable to use FNU. Note that intentionally using a false name is, of course, fraud, misrepresentation, or both. Penalties for committing fraud in connection with immigration matters are severe.
