Is this one of those new age take your wife's name thing or a Maurice Drew becoming Maurice Jones-Drew thing?
This is not meant to sound racist, but it might come off sounding racist...
but in the black community, over 75% of children are born to single or unwed mothers and take their mother's name at birth. You see this hyphenated name situation sometimes when the father becomes a big part of their life later on. Another situation is the father becomes a big part of their life or has been a big part of their life then passes away and the child honors them in this way.
ETA:
Looked it up, Maurice Jones-Drew not raised by his parents, so he took his grandfather's last name when he passed away.
Jalen Courtney's parents were not together, but was given his father's name of "Courtney" at birth. He has since changed to a hyphen to honor his mother, whose last name is "Williams".

Doesn't have anything to do with race
Also, people often take Stepdad's name, especially if he adopts them

So let's discuss... black community hyphenated name situation.
TD never ceases to amaze me.
