My wife was able to use her married name for her DNI and it looks like that will also hold true for her Argentine citizenship (hopefully so all docs will match). Other than explaining that we're married and not siblings...it's been great to not have an issue. In Uruguay, we had temp residency and they required she use her maiden name on her cedula.
She had a hyphenated German maiden name. When we were married she changed a letter in her first name from a Z to an S along with changing her last name to my Italian...Spanish sounding last name. The county in the US where we applied for the marriage certificate (not the county we were married in) allowed both name changes under a liberal reading to the statute...only two of the seven counties in the metropolitan area allowed such a thing so we went to the closest that allowed it. Saved the hassle of getting a court judgment.
So I suppose if it were able to change your birth country first...you could do it in Argentina. Still sounds like too much effort at this point.
