I umber, for the record.
Oh man. I used to be the Queen of Umberland around the misuse of my name. Mine was a military reign where this was concerned.
Now, I just sigh over folks' seeming inability to see the y and the -. Honestly, are hyphenated names still so foreign that people really don't know to alphabetize by the first initial?
I can't even be upset when people say, "We have no record of your _____, Ms. T."
Um, that would be because it's not T, it's K-T. Look under the K, or vice versa. It's bound to be there somewhere.

If my experience in any indication, the answer is yes.
I know my name is different, but it's not
that
different. So, you know, people, bite me. And that's before you get to the capitalisation thing.
I'm always surprised when people ask how to spell my name, because growing up I only ever saw "Amy." Plus, Amy March!
But I know the error of my ways now.
Kyriarchy is basically lady-goddess. The feminine of the Greek "kryie" which is "Lord" with god overtones. It's like matriachy, or patriachy, except no mother/fatherhood implications.
For the longest time, I thought ita was just an internet name for ITA. Except with added capoeria. (My god, that is the hardest word to remember spelling. I always get it wrong. I shall just call it CapSpinKickyDanceFight.)
Kyriarchy is an exceptionally cool concept. Developed by an exceptionally cool feminist theologian.

Yes, because people have different preferences. We have one hyphenate who actually wants to be treated as if the first name of her hyphenate is a middle name, so she is alphabetized by her second name. I don't know why, makes no sense, not my biz.

Then why did she hyphenate?
Alphabetization is not a preference issue. There are rules, people!

The friends I have who do this don't hyphenate the names they just use both. So Jane Smith Jones would be alphabetized as "Jones" and Jane Smith-Jones would be alphabetized under "Smith."

Or what she said.
Well, I was joking, because technically you are supposed to follow personal preference. But, assuming she's a hyphenate due to marriage, I don't know why you would make things more complicated for yourself.
