A hyphenated surname like "Andersen-vie" could indicate a combination of two family names to represent joint heritage or a blending of identities. This can signify a change in family structure or a desire to honor both sides of a family equally.
To make a surname plural you must add "s" (s) to it, unless the name already ends with an "s", in which case you simply add "es". For example: Smith would be pluralised Smiths, and Jones would be pluralised Joneses.
For names ending in "s," you can follow the standard rule for hyphenation by adding an apostrophe and an extra "s" after the name. For example, "Thomas" would be hyphenated as "Thomas's."
Spanish speaking people typically have two last names, which come from their father's surname and mother's surname. The father's surname comes first, followed by the mother's surname. For example, if a person's father's last name is García and their mother's last name is López, their full name would be [First Name] [Middle Name] García López.
To form the possessive plural of a surname ending in s, add only an apostrophe after the s. For example, the possessive plural of the Smiths would be the Smiths'.
The plural form of a surname ending in N would typically add -s to the end of the name, for example, Smiths or Wilsons.
Yes a person can use a hyphenated surname (last name) which would be the woman's maiden name hyphenated with her married name. Example: Jane Doe-Smith.

In ways keeping both names comes in handy if one is into genealogy.

No, "highly talented" is not hyphenated. "Highly" is an adverb that modifies "talented." You only need to use a hyphen to connect two or more words that function together as an adjective to modify a noun - for example, "top-performing salesman" or "high-dollar suit" would require hyphenation.
In the American cultural tradition, if you are alphabetizing according to surname, unless the maiden name and married name are hyphenated, you would list in alphabetical order of the last name. For example, Mary Johnson marries and her married surname is Smith. Her name, Mary Johnson Smith, would be listed under the S column like "Smith, Mary Johnson". However, if she hyphenates her name when she marries, as Mary Johnson-Smith, then her name would be listed under the J's like "Johnson-Smith, Mary".
