re: Question about hyphenated last names

My last name is legally hyphenated. I wanted to keep my maiden name for certain familial reasons. The only down side is there are a lot of morons out there that look at my name and just don't get it. I've heard "I wasn't sure what your name really is,so I just skipped that part" or similar, enough times to know that there are a lot of very stupid people here in Dallas.
