That is a curious Americanism. In recent years, married women are 
identified in the media thusly "Given Name Maiden Surname Married 
Surname", even if the lady in question does not hyphenate or has kept 
her maiden name as her middle name. For example, I've seen various 
print articles refering to the current First Lady, Laura Bush, 
as "Laura Welch Bush", eventhough she goes by "Laura Bush".

The sharp reprimand was not lost upon her, and in time it came to 
pass that for "fay" she said "succeed"; that she no longer spoke 
of "dumbledores" but of "humble bees"; no longer said of young men 
and women that they "walked together," but that they were "engaged"; 
that she grew to talk of "greggles" as "wild hyacinths"; that when 
she had not slept she did not quaintly tell the servants next morning 
that she had been "hag-rid," but that she had "suffered from 
indigestion."
