[quote=Anonymous]I kept my given last name when I married, and we used it as a middle name for our kids. We didn't hyphenate because I thought hyphenated names were kind of unwieldy. 25 years later, I feel differently. Our hyphenated last name would have been just 3 syllables. I don't mind having a different last name from my kids, but it does bug me a little that I just blindly went with my DH's last name--we never even discussed using my last name. Hmph. Also, my kids went to a high school with a large Latino population, so double names were common and no one any trouble dealing with them. And finally, one of my kids actually uses his middle name (my surname) a lot--he writes his full name on schoolwork, uses all 3 names in his signature, etc. We should have hyphenated![/quote]
