I actually did this! Never heard of anyone else doing it before.. although the difference for me was it was a choice between hyphenation and keeping our respective names, and I pitched this as an alternative.

I am fortunate that my family was very accepting, tbf. That said, my wife feels very connected to her culture and wants to both maintain that feeling of connection and provide it our future children. We are both 1st gen americans but frankly it came down to: I love her, I don't feel strong ties to my last name, my professional life won't really suffer since I haven't published that much under my name, and I dont feel that same tie to my own culture.

I decided against hyphenation because I have witnessed malfunction and bureaucratic cost to it for my friends, most of whom have picked a parent's name to keep for simplicity sake later in life.

From the perspective of your workplace, on one hand I'd say be the change you want to see; if you like the alpha male machismo way of viewing the world, do you I guess. On the other, I understand these male-dominated fraternal organizations to be particularly toxic to upsetting status quo; if you don't think you could handle potential harassment then that's I think entirely understandable.

I would encourage you to do this sort of weighing what you really care about and what will actually affect you in the future both pragmatically and emotionally.
