    Affidavit is not enough for name.change. you need to notify the same in offcial gazzette. Secondly, you can use both names as those are your names only. However if you are using old name, you should ensure that the act you do by using the old name doesn't amount to fraud or forgery. Secondly when police asks you your name, you are legally bound to use your new name and also inform them your old name in case they ask.

    thing is, change of name cannot happen via an affidavit. since it has to be published in the official gazette notification of the state apart from newspaper publication and once done you need to request changes in all your official documents and after all that is done you can't use your previous name any more.
