Am considering this for our very new DD. Does a hyphenated name work here?

I just do not get hyphens. Why do you want to hyphenate it?

Why not Olivia Rose? Olivia is the most popular girl's name at the moment - are you trying to make it slightly more unusual by adding on the -Rose? Hmm Because you do realise that Rose (along with May) is pretty much the default middle name / hyphenated choice, right?

Better without the hyphen, though rather too popular for my tastes.

Better without the hyphen IMHO.

I'd drop the hyphen, it's unnecessarySmile
