Hyphenating or Two Last Names?

I thought about doing this, but I decided to just make my maiden my middle and take his last name.

I'm just going to have two middle names so I'm not dropping anything. Lara middle maiden hislast. Mrs hislast.

I thought about that too, but my grandmothers coincidentally both have the same name, and it's my middle name. So I don't want to change that either.

I was born with a hyphenated last name and I only use my first last name (dads) for everything. I always forget to add my other one (moms) I was also going to do my last name then his with a hyphen because I still want to sign everything as I always have. I just really like my last name and his not so much.

I was also thinking of making my maiden name a 2nd middle name.

I won't drop my maiden name, but I don't think I'll be hyphenating. I won't drop my middle name either because I love it. It may be easier to technically have 2 middle names, but use my maiden middle name more often than not, if that makes sense. So my full name will be Jacquelyn Middle Maiden FHLastname. I'll usually write out or sign Jacquelyn M. Maiden FHlastname. I typically use my middle initial in my signature so I'll continue to do that.

My maiden name is 12 letters long and terrible. Passssss.

I want to be kind of woman who keeps her last name, but mine sucks so bad and FH's is so awesome that I'm just going to drop my maiden name entirely. A little sad about it, but there's no way to keep it without sounding stupid.

My sister just added her husband's name to her entire name. And for a while she officially went as Carolyn Maiden Name H's Name. She did eventually stop using her maiden name but her driver's license and everything still has all four names on it.

I'm planning on keeping my middle name and using my maiden name as a second middle name, but I probably will always officially refer to myself as Rebecca New Last Name.

I did Jillian middle my last name his last name. With the hyphen I found it's basically one last name. As two last names you can just go by the last last name (his) verse always having to use both. So, on any of my accounts it's both last names, but I sign everything middle my last name as initials and then sign his last name. FOr anything else every day things I just go by jillian his last name

Thanks for the input ladies. @Jillian that makes a lot of sense. I still want to go by my maiden name at work (I'm a teacher), but I'll probably mostly refer to myself by FH's last name in social/day-to-day situations. So maybe the two last names with no hyphen would work for me.

Someone I know with a hyphenated last name said something along the lines of "it causes a lot of problems because computers can't recognize the hyphen" or something like that

Texas won't let you have two last names. If you do that for your new SS card, Texas makes you choose or hyphenate.

My maiden name is now my middle and his last name is mine.

I'm changing mine complete. Too long to hyphenate, and my current last name would be odd as a middle name. Oh, and BTW...I don't have a middle name which totally sucks.

I'm planning on combining my first and middle name and then keeping my maiden as my middle and taking his last name. Although I am still not opposed to him taking my last name, I have over 700 days to try and convince him, who knows!

@MrandMrsG I'm wondering if that's the main thing people are referring to when they talk about complications. I just asked a coworker who has had a hyphenated name for the last 30 years, and she said her name has to be entered into computer systems as one long name (no hyphen). She also said doctor's offices are always misplacing her file because they never know if it's filed under M or B. Lol. But I guess you just learn to live with that kind of stuff.

As someone with two last names (I was born in Mexico, and Canada wouldn't let me drop one or hyphenate when I immigrated), I strongly recommend to either hyphenate or choose just one.

People who are unfamiliar with Latin American naming customs usually ignore my dad's (the first one) and just use my mom's (the second one), so the same might happen to you - people will only use the last one.

I'm just going to have 4 names as I don't want to drop any Moving my maiden name to a second middle name and taking his last name....FirstName Middle Name Maiden Name HisLastName

I dropped my middle name, so First Maiden Married (without a hyphen).

Then Maiden got abbreviated to an initial (although it is still spelled out on license, etc. in case I need to prove who I used to be).

I wanted to hyphenate my last name w/ my Fiance's but that started a huge argument, sadly lol
