So we have two adopted DCs who both have hyphenated names.
We usually refer to them by their first name because we prefer it as their full hyphenated names are a bit of a mouthful.

Now I am pregnant and we are looking at names and we are pondering a hyphenated boys name but haven't found one we love so far.

So please give me your best hyphenated boys name.

General rule is a short name often a nickname as the first part of the name and a typical middle name for the second part works.

Congratulations :)

No reason as such we may not use a hyphenated name at all but we wanted to explore it a bit first.
