Is it possible to have the initial PR card issued in my new name rather than the name from the application/passport?
 
No. It will be issued in the name on your application, and matching your passport. You would have had to obtain a new passport with your new name first before applying to have done so. Now perhaps someone here has renewed their passport with their new name before landing . . . unless they advise differently from personal experience . . .
