Name change on new passport, US Visa still valid on old passport
To match my degree name on O & A levels, I changed my passport name accordingly.
So now my old and new passport have different names. On my old passport I have my US Visa which is still valid.
Can I still travel? How can I book my tickets? My tickets will have a different name from my new passport.

You can travel. Carry both passports, and a copy of the legal documents that show the name change. If the legal document isn't in English, you must have a copy translated by a sworn translator.
You can update your name on your visa with your new passport.
The official line is that it's recommended you get a new visa.
This FAQ on a pretty comprehensive Polish (it seems) web site explains it quite well.
