Credit repair & name change

Hi all,
I'm currently in an IVA (finishes Sept 2017) and have recently got married.
Wondering if I should hold off changing my name on some accounts until I've got myself sorted?
My IVA, current account & debts are in my maiden name. Will it make a difference in the future if I put all my good debts (cc I pay off in full every month, mortgage, electoral roll entry and another bank account) in my married name? Or will credit reference agencies be about to link them all up anyway?
Is it worth holding off changing anything and starting fresh with my new name after the IVA comes to an end?
Thanks for reading
