Girls name, and hyphenated names for kids?

[wolfbane.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend and I decided the other night that if we ever have a girl we are going to name her Rosemary Willow. We're not having kids for years but we always enjoy thinking about things like this. We still haven't agreed on a name for a boy.

Also, when we get married in a couple years I want to keep my last name and add his to mine. I promised my dad I would keep my last name since I'm an only child and the name will "die out" without me. I'm wondering if anyone here has kept a name and taken one. Did you hyphenate it, or come up with some other solution?

What do you do when you have kids and one parent has a hyphenated name? Do the kids get this name or do you just choose one? I know my dad would like it if we gave the kids his last name, but I would also like to use my boyfriend's family name. It just seems kind of long and confusing for kids, though. Advice?
