Answer 1

clip-board

Answer 2

Americans are using double surnames today like British titled families have always done. Working on Medicaid claims for many years I have found even people on Medicaid are doing it.  This might be getting a little ridiculous as people don't really know how to use them.

In Hispanic countries, they do it this way.

The husband's name is his father's followed by his mother's maiden name.

The wife and children are the husband's and father's followed by the wife's maiden name.

until

the daughter gets married. She drops her mother's maiden name, pushes her father's surname to the right and puts her husband's

patronymic name he got from his father in front.

My suggestion would be for you to drop your mother's maiden name.  In English speaking countries, the maiden names comes first.  If your father was a Hawkins let it be Hawkins-Gibbes.

Answer 3

i think it's a bit much.  going with your husbands last name shows how committed you are to him. but it's your choice in the end and you'll have to live with either signing Gibbes or Rutherford-Hawkins-Gibbes

Answer 4

combine names or elements from the names to make a new name perhaps

ex:

Rufhawk

Rutherbigs

Bigshwank

Forskines

...

Answer 5

omg lol.

Rutherford-Hawkins is already huge!  adding a Gibbes onto that is freakin' 25 letters!  I suggest changing your name to Gibbes, its shorter and easier altogether.  or maybe you can incorperate some of the names into your middle name?  idk.
