[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has nothing to do with status. It has to do with ensuring our kids have a last name that represents both parts of their identity (in our case, Asian and Jewish).  I am the PP who says it’s not a burden or a problem (I’m the one who fills out the forms, and most forms aren’t on paper with boxes anymore). My kids have friends with hyphenated names, so they don’t think it’s strange and actually think it would be strange to just go by one of the names. 
When they are adults, they can do whatever they want with their names, which is what they can do with a single last name - drop it and take their spouse’s name, drop one name, come up with a new name- whatever. 
I find it so strange that people are invested in being against hyphenated names! Don’t like it, don’t do it. [/quote]

So when they marry someone who isn’t Jewish or Asian, what would you have them do for their kids?  Because obviously their last name needs to represent every piece of their identity or else they may forget![/quote]
