Dh and I have decided to give our new baby both our surnames. I kept my surname when we married and want our DC to have my name too.
However, I'm not entirely sure how it works. Sometimes double barrell names are hyphenated and sometimes not. Why is this? And which one should we go for? Does a hyphen mean that the two names are one complete name and are always used together?
We may just decide to use just one name on a daily basis - does that mean it would be better not to use hyphen?
Advice needed please!
