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.
