Plus, i am not hyphenating my extremely hard to spell and very long last name with two others!

Alas arises an issue . . .
I played hockey with a kid, let's call him David Smith-Jones . . . mother took a hyphenated name, after a divorce he ended up (legally) with her last name. Now, if he gets married, does the woman take the hyphenated name? Her own? Add a third, and hyphenate the whole damn thing?
Gets tricky about that point - so I guess the point is, do what you want, but you might have to make bizarre decisions later on, and names aren't that hard to change - just gets funny.
