Did you write an article on the Internet about it? Maybe a blog post?
No?...I remember I posted on here about it last summer.

Hoping to get both male and female perspectives, but I will say I am more of a traditionalist and spoke to my now wife about this well before I popped the question, but why do people do hyphenated last names?
I was always taught, being from the South I guess, that the woman would take her husband's last name and then move her last name to be her middle name. My wife on the other hand legally kept her full name and just added my last name to the end of hers, but officially, on paper at least, her last name is not hyphenated and was changed to mine. Just curious about people's thought process around this.
Why? Give me a biblical chapter and verse that says that and I will agree. Otherwise ....A wife's name should no more be hyphenated than the name Christian.
Including if she marries someone named John Rhys-Davies?A wife's name should no more be hyphenated than the name Christian.
I kept my maiden name professionally. I use my married name in my private life. Why? All my credentials are in my maiden name. Does it matter? I don't think so...we've only been married 18 years.
