I am a hyphen. I didn't even intend on doing it until the day before the wedding. Then I got to thinking about my publications, the work I'm doing, and the norms in my field...and I decided hyphenation was pretty OK. Didn't tell my parents, didn't tell his parents...just told the priest and the friend who announced us at the wedding. My husband didn't care, but he didn't want to change, so it is just me, Phoenix Azul-Husband. I kept my middle name because I love it, and it is part of a nickname (TJ). It's really not that big of a deal, and really having part of my middle name has come in handy in a lot of situations. Being a hyphen is kinda fun, I just sort of alert people to the fact that it is hyphenated when I spell it for them. Although some people want to put husband's name first, and then mine, which changes our name to something that sounds extremely different, and a very common Jewish last name. I laugh. Husband has also gotten stuff to "Mr and Mrs Phoenix Azul-Husband".
He now knows what women go through all their lives.
