Is it legal in the US to get mail delivered to your chosen name when you haven't changed it legally?

Isn't it troublesome on paperwork to have differing last names in the same family? I even found an article saying that most Eastern European families use a singular last name when they come to the US, because differing last names really isn't compatible with the US legal system.

Idk, my sister and I have different legal last names, and my brother has my last name for a middle name.

That must be difficult. Do you think you'll eventually change your last name when you do your legal name change?

Yes
