Lovely story about a gorgeous baby girl delivered by her Dad in minutes in the family bathroom: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-18070257

Her proud mum and dad have named her Bo-Pierre which leads me to wonder: what's the most unusual hypenated name you've come across?

Lovely story!

Pierre is the French version of Peter, so that's an interesting name choice.

Marie-Pierre for a girl and Pierre-Marie for a boy, both very normal French names.
I know a Jordan-Louise and I always found the juxtaposition of cheesy and uber classic very odd.

I saw that. Her brother is called Jayden-Lee or something similarly dreadful. Bo-Pierre? That's a millstone around the neck is what that is.

Bo-Pierre? God awful.

Worst I've ever come across? Joy-Princess.

Oh. My. God. My name could have been Joy-Princess instead of Joy Sophie?!

PARENTS WHY DID YOU FORSAKE ME!?

Bo is a Scandinavian boys name and Pierre is a French boys name. I'd find this mix odd on a boy, let alone a girl.

Worst I've come across - Murphy-Li (girl) and Deja-Maree (girl). Mind you. I do live in a country where Nevaeh (heaven backwards) is in the top 50 most popular names Hmm

I thought a nevae was a sort of birth mark.

Oh I've thought of another, it's not hyphenated though - it's Oh Shaye. Like someone has heard the surname O'Shea and just decided to completely misspell it and use it as a first name.

These are just hysterical.

Bo-Pierre though....ugh. Little Bo Peep. No.

Sky-Mia.

Can't decide what it resembles more: a skin disease or a cleaning product Grin

Molly-J and Tyler-D

Hyphenated but just initials... I had to fight to keep my eyebrows from raising...

I'm loving Molly-J and Tyler-D. Are their parents rappers?

Some of these are jaw droppingly awful. Kaydeelee-Princess? WTAF?

I remember a baby girl named Piper-Noveaux on a different baby forum. Yes the French word was deliberately spelled wrong and they didn't seem to care that it was male and plural. Some people have the oddest logic.

Oh and I overheard a mum calling her dd Star-Lily yesterday, hyphen can only be assumed. At least that had some sort of sense to it.

Bo-Pierre is a girl's name? Interesting.

I raise you K-Lee for a boy.

When I was on the maternity ward in a South London hospital, the newly born baby girl in the next bay was Crystal Alice... her dad was a huge Crystal Palace fan!
