I'm currently known as John A, my passport and current ESTA is in this name. My ESTA is due to expire this month.
I'm back in the UK now and I plan to change my name to John B. I will get a new passport and ESTA under the name John B.
What kind of issues am I likely to get next time I visit the US?
Will I have to have fingerprints and my photograph redone? Will this cause issues at the kiosk when my fingerprints and face match a different name?
If I am likely to incur issues, what documentation should I take with me?
Thank you in advance.

You won't have any issues, but you will need to get a new ESTA once you have your new passport.
To quote from the official source:
If you obtain a new passport or change your name, gender or country of citizenship, you will be required to apply for a new travel authorization. This is also required if one of your answers to any of the VWP eligibility questions changes. The associated fee of $14 will be charged for each new application.
