2. i asked the mother of girl that i will do NIKAH but will not sign any legal document for changing the name into muslim name and also regarding conversion, she is ok with that. so is it possible?
3. most important if i and that girls do court marriage with our actual names and then i do nikah with muslim name and she do marriage with hindu rituals with hindu name just for the happiness of our parents then which marriage will be legally valid??
4. i and that girl wants to make an agreement that we do court marriage first with our actual names and religion and after that we do nikah and shadi with different names and we only want that court marriage will be known as valid marriage and we will be known withour actual names, then is it possible?

If you do not want to change religion, go for marriage under special marriage act.
For valid marriage under religious customs, both of you have to be either Hindu or both Muslim.

NOT NECESSARY IN INDIA. There is a provision under Special Marriage Act where persons of different faith can marry without change of religion.

NIKAH WITHOUT CONVERSION TO ISLAM IS ILLEGAL. NO MAULANA WILL (UNLESS HEAVILY BRIBED)WILL AGREE.
SUCH MARRIAGE CAN LATER LAND YOU IN CHANGE OF RAPE BY HAVING RELATION WITH A LADY BY FALSELY MAKING HER TO BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN LEGALLY WEDDED WHILE THERE IS NO LEGAL LY TENABLE MARRIAGE.

WELL UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOCKERY OF MARRIAGE.
NIKAH IS ILLEGAL AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT MUSLIM AT THE TIME OF MARRIAGE. SUBSEQUENT CONVERSION IS IMMATERIAL.
HINDU MARRIAGE IS ILLEGAL AS LONG AS SHE IS NOT HINDU AT THE TIME OF MARRIAGE. SUBSEQUENT CONVERSION IS IMMATERIAL.

YOU ASKED
"and what about nikah as her family is having 3 daughters and they are worrying about their future. "
Why at all you should be worried about family respect and sentiments and future of other siblings when both of you want to get married with none else in world and that too without change of religion.

Based on views of experts above, the option before you:-
(i) one of you convert to other religion, which only you will agree she will not(atleast what appears from facts presented by you. This way sentiments of atleast one family will be protected.
(ii) Go for Special Marriage Act and care too hoot for sentiments of both families.
(iii) Both find another match and forget.

It is good that both the families are not opposing the marriage, but are only concerned with trivial issues.
The ideal course would be to register the marriage under Special Marriage Act. The respective families may be left to arrange whatever functions or ceremonies at their discretion to fulfill their social obligations. All that is required of you is unreserved participation in such events. Such functions/ ceremonies would be of no legal consequences, once the marriage is duly registered under the Special Marriage Act.

If both of you are really honest, serious and determined about this marriage, then don't bother much about such trivial issues but go ahead and marry under the Special Marriage Act., Remember that a Rose will be a "Rose" by whatever name one calls it ! However, well reasoned opinions given herein above by learned experts be kept in mind, so that you may not commit illegalities.
