There is no amnesty.  After you marry, you will need to file an I-130.  Once that is approved, you will need to file an I-601A waiver of unlawful presence.  Then, if that waiver is approved your husband can go to a consulate in his country to get an immigrant visa. Once he enters the US on his immigrant visa, they will mail him a green card.

The requirements and restrictions to legally change you name in the U.S. is determined by the state you live in. Each state has different rules so you have to check with the court in the state in which you are residing.
