In what I viewed as trying to be helpful I fired off a quick note to an
Ancestry.com poster to let her know that she had reversed portions of my
cousins name. Below is part of her response:

"The order of the names has to do with the Ancestry suggestion that runs
throughout my extensive trees and is common in the US. The important for
genealogy reasons "maiden name" is placed at the end and any married last
names placed after the first name."

Has anyone ever heard of this?
