I just received my EAD and I'm still in the process of getting my residence through marriage. I applied with my maiden name and all my original documents and foreign passport have my maiden name.

Changing your name at this point would be quite complicated and expensive. I would recommend keeping your maiden name until you will be filing for removal of conditions (for permanent green card) in 1.5 years or for naturalization in 3 years (in which case you would not even have to change your foreign passport).
