What happens when two people with hyphenated last names get married? Do they hyphenate all four names and in what order?

In the Hispanic tradition it would be the Paternal name and then the Maternal name using the Paternal line, which would be the first name.

So Male 1-2 and Female 3-4 becomes Baby 1-3.

Some of the Mexicans I know just kept adding middle names.

You end up with something like Manuèl José Alvarez Ibarra Reyes Gutierrez

Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar Palacios Ponte y Blanco[c] (24 July 1783 – 17 December 1830) was a Venezuelan military and political leader who led what are currently the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia to independence from the Spanish Empire. He is known colloquially as El Libertador, or the Liberator of America.

Baby 1-4?

I thought maternal name always come seconds and gets passed down by the mom.

So the dad has "dad1-mom1" and the mom has "dad2-mom2".

And the kid would be "dad1-mom2". Not "dad1-dad2"

But I honestly don't know
