Do car rental companies in Europe accept a driver's license with a change of name document?

I am thinking about changing my name, but while it would be easy for me to get a passport replacement with the new name, doing a name change on the driver's license would be not so easy (because I travel a lot).

So I am wondering if I can rent a car (in Europe), presenting a passport with my new name, a driver's license with my old name, and a name change document.
