Often what happens with a walkaway spouse is that they will do a "touch and go" where they will briefly warm up and be nice to you, then when they leave they panic that they have given you the impression that everything is now okay and they will come back, so they double-down on the distance and in some cases vitriol.

Don't ride the roller coaster -- no one thing she does or doesn't do is going to make much of a difference at all. She'll say all kinds of things that could have a hundred different meanings.

Just do your thing and be the best person you can be. She changed her name on Facebook, she can change it back if she wants to. If there's one thing this experience should prove to you it's that feelings can change.
