My wife kept her name when we married.  We did not like the idea of hyphenating
our names when our daughter was born.  We had considered combining names 
somehow, but the only combinations of Drysdale and Higgins that seemed natural
were Drygins and Higdale.  Neither appealed to us (although the first might
interest martini drinkers).  We named our daughter Helen Higgins Drysdale, 
using my wife's last name for Helen's middle name.
