Gina McMurchy-Barber: Hello, my name is Gina McMurchy-Barber. McMurchy is my maiden name and is Scottish. Barber is my husband's last name and is English. When we decided to marry, we both wanted to keep our own last names because we were proud of our families but we also wanted to share a common last name. For fun, we came up with several new last names that were a combination of both including silly ones like Barberchy and McBarber. In the end, we decided on the hyphenated version we now use, but unusually long names such as McMurchy-Barber are literally a pain, that is a pain in the wrist when I need to sign books or lots of legal papers.
