We hyphenated our names after marriage. My wife just had make a copy of the marriage license, and get new social security cards, driver's license, etc. Her name was legally changed.
For me to do it, I was going to have to go before a judge, swear that I wasn't changing my name to flee my creditors or avoid prosecution. Then I would have had to take out an ad in the public notices section of the local newspaper, go back before the judge, pay a fee, and then my name would be changed. Then I would have had to get new paperwork, etc.
So I just use my hyphenated name as an alias.
