That could create problems in the long run. Better to keep same names on both.

You won't be able to change your name at the ceremony. Your certificate will have the name which you listed in your application. You can, however, change your legal name after you received the certificate. When applying for passports and similar things in the future, you will then have to provide both the citizenship certificate and the proof of name change.
