Legally...my name is hyphenated. It appears that way on my social security card, driver's license etc. I kept my maiden name...one because I like it and two because I got married when I was 29 and for business purposes my maiden name was what I was "known" by. I receive mail with my maiden name only, hyphenated name, and with just my married name. When filling out papers etc I NEVER just use my maiden name ... I always use the hyphenated version or just my husband's name.
I guess because I was known by my maiden name for so long..it was hard to drop it.
