Yes, it can. I had a friend who is a former consultant. She has the same first name as her mother-in-law, so by marrying her husband, she now has the same last name as well. They have a different middle initial, but she said there were several times when she had to speak with HO to confirm that it was her MIL that hosted, not herself.
It may not seem like a big deal up front (just a little bit less in commissions), but keep in mind that it changes the amount of commissionable sales dollars you have as well. This affects your career sales as well as points you earn for your incentive trips. You should always be accurate in showing that you were the consultant if that is the case, so you don't get surprises on your commission statement or if HO decides to audit your incentive points.
