Re: RP BHB: How Would You Monogram a Hyphenated Last Name..Posted by Goldi1021 I did some research for you. Hope this helps. "Dear Social Grace, What is the proper monogram when one has a hyphenated last name? Say, if the new married name is "Ellen Marie Pumpernickel-Smith," would the proper monogram be EMPS, EMP, EMS, or EPS, or what? I'm completely confused. Sincerely, E-Something Dear Abbreviated Madam or Sir, A traditional monogram style puts the first letter of the last name in the center of the monogram, and makes it a bit larger than the other letters. So Ellen Marie Pumpernickel would be EPM. She could also choose to use a single letter, for her last name, in a monogram. In this case, though, Ellen has made a break from tradition by hyphenating her last name and keeping her middle name after marriage, so she'll have to break from tradition with her monogram, too. And breaking from tradition is fine and dandy -- but Ellen isn't going to have the "utterly proper," old-fashioned sort of monogram, because she doesn't have an old-fashioned sort of name. One of the following monograms might make sense: EPSM, PS, or EPM (a hyphen turns two words into "one word," so there's a grammatical argument that Ellen's last name is one name that starts with a "P"). A more modern monogram style puts the letters in order and makes them the same size. If Ellen likes this style, she might choose EMPS or EPS. "

Re: RP BHB: How Would You Monogram a Hyphenated Last Name..IF you were to put her in an alphabetical list of people, with last names first, you'd start with the first letter of her entire hyphenated name since that is her LEGAL name. Id use that. OR just ask her. It may ruin the surprise but I think she'd appreciate the thought.
