I just have to say that i'm not sure about all "hispanics" but using "de" is not very common in Mexican tradition. So many women just add the husband's last name to the end w/o the "de." In fact, I haven't heard of using "de" until you mentioned it.

And for children (if i can remember correctly) its Firstname Middlename father'slastname mother'smaidenname.
