hyphenated boys name

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.
