Form 8822 is labeled as a change of address form only, however the IRS does ask you to report any change of name on line 5 of form 8822 if you have also changed your address.

The IRS requires you to notify them of any address change. The IRS does not require you to notify them of your name change if you have not also changed your address. The IRS refers to Social Security records. They are concerned that at tax time the name on your tax return matches the name designated for your Social Security number. When doing your annual tax return use your new name and make sure you have already changed your Social Security record.
