I am going to hyphenate my last name when I get married.

I decided to do so because when I get my PhD, I will be the first "Dr. anything" in my family which is something I am extremely proud and excited about. Also, my fiances dad and uncle have doctorates and I don't want to be called the same thing as them.

I never thought about what my children would be called, but I assumed they would simply take his last name. I like DSTRen's solution, though!
