I should just have taken my wife’s surname, instead we double barrelled them both together so now when I give my surname people tend to just look at me like “wtf?”. Some times they’ll ask “which one is it?”
Fwiw, no cost, no documents, just went into the bank with the marriage certificate and had to post it to dvla and passport office when I changed those. My driving licence I waited until it needed renewed anyway which was a few years.
Dunno if it’d have been harder had I/we wanted to change it Bananahammock or something unrelated to our previous names.

You’re in good company though as lots of inspiring people have two names that can serve as forename and surname including David Cameron, Elton John, Theresa May, Neville Neville, Craig David, Josie Lawrence etc

I took my wife’s name when we married it was very simple and others have stated no cost involved. I actually preferred my old name and I now have two names that can be surname and forename which is not ideal.
Fear not though, I ensured she wasn’t escaping the patriarchy that easily by insisting she became Mrs.
