I don't hyphenate it or anything , and I don't write both names out when I sign. I usually use my middle inital, which is now Z.

I am so proud of my heritage & the fact that my dad came to the US to make a batter life for himself & his family, I didn't want to lose my family name completely. Dad was thrilled when I told him that I was legally making it my middle name.

That's freaky - in yesterday's Buffalo News, there was a small pic on the front page of this chick & her daughter. The caption read "Apple so&so playing at the park with her 2 year old daughter Kayla."
