I mean, what do they think their family name is if it isn't Smith-Jones, the surname they gave their kids?[/quote]

I have a friend who has that structure and INSISTS that her family has three separate last names.  Smith, Jones, and Smith-Jones are not three separate/distinct last names [/quote]

Why not?

Last name #1: Smith
Last name #2: Jones
Last name #3: Smith-Jones[/quote]

Technically (and officially/legally), yes...3 separate lastnames.

But practically speaking, the world considers them the Smith-Jones family.

Professionally you can be Suzy Smith. But once Larla goes to school, you are Mrs. Smith-Jones...or more often simply "Larla's mom."

I'm curious why any mother would go to such great lengths to distinguish herself from her children? I don't get it. Again: be Suzy Smith at work, on your passport and whenever you fill out paperwork. Introduce yourself as Suzy Smith...Larla Smith-Jones mom. But for your annual holiday card or address labels, why not be the Smith-Jones family? Why???[/quote]
