Considering hyphenated names as a newlywed? There are so many married name change options available today, that it is important to weigh the pro’s and con’s of each one before you make your final decision to legally become a Mrs. Below find a list of the top three pro’s for hyphenated names
Hyphenated Names: Top 3 Pro’s
1. You get to keep your maiden name in a big way. While you’re adding a hyphen and your spouse’s name, your maiden name remains highly visible and will be used daily.
2. Easy recognition/transition. If you work in a profession that relies on name recognition (this means you doctors, lawyers, realtors and writers), having both names will make it simple for clients or patients to refer/find you, during and after your name change.
3. Increased SEO. Studies show that women who have hyphenated names show higher in Google search rankings than peers who opted to keep their maiden name or just take their spouses name.
