Haha.. ok, here's my situation. When my parent's got married, they had already been maried before, but obviosly, my dad had kept his name, Bennett. I don't know if my mom ever changed hers, but when she met my dad, she had her maiden name, Cumming. Neither wanted to lose the name, so the hyphenated it, Bennett-Cumming.
Now here is me, engaged. I decided a long time ago that unless his name was longer than mine, or I hated it, I would just take his. And I love it and it's much shorter. Besides, could you really see Bennett-Cumming McFarland?( maiden, last) I mean, what kind of a middle name is that?? or wose yet, hyphenating it all!! No way! I have a lil brother.. he can carry on the name!
