Two last names?

I recently got married. I decided to change my last name. He has two last names though... (example: Robert Smith Jones) Do I take both last names?? I wouldn't want to. When we were at the clerks office & was asked what I want my last name to be, I only took one of the last names & that's what they put on the certificate. I'm very confused now.

In general, you can have two last names on your Social Security care if desired :

However, for a name change, the SSA will need to see evidence warranting the change (ex. marriage certificate). If your marriage certificate has only one last name, I can only see the SSA changing your name to the single last name.
