My .02
I was born in Mexico and my name is G__ D__ L__, where D__ is my father's last name and L__ is my mother's last name. When she married my father, she dropped L__ and became Mrs.D__. On my driver's license, both of my last names are on it, and people constantly think that L__ is my last name. However, all my paperwork, D__ is my last name. It's not that I don't respect my mother's family and her last name, but I think of myself as G__ D__. I haven't hyphenated the last names because I never have and it was just be odd to do so at this point.
In the event that I get married, I will keep G__ D__ and hyphenate his last name. If we have children, I would prefer for their last name to be HisLastName-D__. However, that will all be discussed in the event of marriage.
