  • Yes a person can use a hyphenated surname (last name) which would be the woman's maiden name hyphenated with her married name. Example: Jane Doe-Smith. Often famous people or people known by their surname in a business they are running will keep their family name hyphenated with whomever they marry, but keep both the maiden surname and married surname is becoming more common practice. In ways keeping both names comes in handy if one is into genealogy.

What is Apa format for a hyphenated name?

In APA format, hyphenated names should be treated as one unit with no spaces. For in-text citations, use the full hyphenated name (e.g., Smith-Jones) each time the author is cited. In the reference list, list the hyphenated name as you would a single last name (e.g., Smith-Jones, A.).

Can you use your married name personally but maiden name professionally?

The most convincing answer I've found is that if you legally have your names hyphenated, you can use the hyphenated name or either or the names in just about any situation. So if your name is A B C, and your spouse's last name is D, you would legally change your name to A B (C-D or D-C). At that point, in almost every situation you could write/sign A B C, A B D, or A B (C-D or D-C). Still looking for an authoritative source, but I 've seen this in several "near-authoritative" places. I'm sure it differs from country to country and possibly even from state to state. Peace.
