I am currently going thru the same discussion with my future husband. Being that I am the only child and my father is deceased I feel obligated to hyphen my last name. My fiance' at first was not to pleased with this but after explaining my reason he is starting to come around. Of course i will drop my middle name b/c I think that is just to much. Now when it comes to children I can't see me hyphenating their names. In spanish and latino families this is custom for the child to take on the mothers maiden name as a middle name but, w/o the hyphen.
