I don't care what people do with their names or their kids' names. But I'm not willing to put a lot of effort into figuring out names, either. If I want to invite your kid to a birthday party, and I can't figure out your or your husband's email because all the last names are different, I probably just won't invite your kid (unless a close friend). Someone will always be getting one of your names wrong. You may not care, and that's fine. Just go into this knowing that there are some drawbacks, and that of course having three last names will be more complicated.

In our public elementary school, parents' contact information is not released to other students.  I do not receive a class list with emails and phone numbers, and any emails from the teacher hide all the email addresses per school policy.  So, when I wanted to find the contact information for our whole class for an evite, I had to search for it.  I obviously asked many parents I knew for their email addresses, but others took some digging (I literally used whitepages.com and linkedin to get some of the contact info).   This is not an enormous deal, and may only impact your child periodically, but I simply can't imagine that three different last names won't create confusion sometimes, and it will be a pita during those times.
