Is getting married a change-your-name-free card, since you're already changing your last name? It seems a lot of women change their middle name instead of hyphenating (Ann Jones Smith, instead of Ann Marie Smith-Jones), what are the rules about that?

I don't think it's a free card. I do know you can change your last name however you want. Changing your name to Ann Jones Smith is just changing your last name, without the hyphen. Your middle name remains there and the same. You can choose to hyphenate, you can choose to keep your name or you can only take his name. It's all up to you. I have chosen to not hyphenate my name but that is my choice.

It very much depends on the laws in each country. Being Scottish my wife carries her maiden surname a hyphen and my surname. We are quite traditional. Regards.

The rule is that if your name is Ann Marie Smith, and you are marrying Tom Jones; your name will now be Ann M.Smith-Jones. You cannot turn the name around. Smith is your last name and Jones is your husband's name, it will now be as I stated above. What it means in simple terms: I am Ann M. Smith, Married to Tom Jones. I hope that this has helped you. If you have a son or daughter, according to this custom, their name could be: Morgan Jones Smith (no hyphen necessary)
