I knew one at school but haven't heard it in years.
What do you think?¹ I love it but not sure if the name works today.

I knew an Anna-Marie at school. She was blonde and blue eyed, very petite and pretty, no Irish connection that I know of.
She went by Anna most of the time.
I think it’s a lovely name but can see lots of possibilities for getting it wrong. Depends if that’s a problem for you.

Hyphenated names are really commen now, as in awful not as in there are a lot. And soooo annoying for the child trying to spell it, and the teacher having to say both names all the time.

That should have read opinions. The girl I knew was from an Irish background. She was absolutely stunning and looked like one of the sisters from the band the Corrs. I haven't heard it other than that.

Anne-Marie was a popular name in Ireland in the late 70s/early 80s. But I don't think I've ever met an Anna-Marie.

The hazard would be people thinking she was called Anne-Marie or Anna-Maria.

Hyphenated names are seen as a bit naff these days.
