Question: "To what extent do you see hyphenated names with their "maiden name" listed before the husband's surname?"
Larry, anecdotally, whether career professionals or not, we have not actually noted more and more brides hyphenating their maiden name with that of their husbands' surnames. At this time, it may reflect, somewhat the culture of the day. In the 1960's, 70's and 80's, it seemed to be more common in the United States. However, without statistics to back this, I can say that in the American culture, it seems to not be as usual for a woman to hold two last names. Now after saying this...... in other representative cultures within America, for example, the Mexican - American culture, it is not unusual for a bride to approach marriage, already with two last names - (that of her father and her mother). In this case, we have seen women either retain her two legal last names or assume her husband's last name completely (dropping both maiden surnames), or dropping one surname and adding her husband's surname in hyphenation.
For the woman who is a Doctor, Lawyer, CPA, Contractor, or other state licensed professional, the tendency is to keep the maiden name in the career (through an AKA), but to legally assume the husband's last name. This is especially true if the bride has established a practice or professional reputation under her maiden name. Now, it is not that we don't see a bride hyphenate her legal last maiden name with that of her new husband's. It seems that our name change experts are coming across a lot more "assumption" of a husband's last name rather than hyphenation.
Finally, we have had women report to us the problem that comes with having two last names. Such as, people referring to them as Mrs. (husbands' last name), and not including their maiden name in the reference. This is more so verbally, than written. A woman can make certain that her hyphenated two legal last names are documented on paper. To the woman with a "hyphenated" last name, it seems that the current American culture favours a single last name.
