Very quick question

[Christmasbelle]

Is a double-barelled name, classed as one or two names?

Don't know sorry!!

Do you mean surname? Or first? Is it hyphenated?

First and hyphenated. Any ideas

Not sure but guessing it would count as one.

Hyphenated first name classed as one I think

One name, but are we talking of the Peggy-Sue ilk here? Are you really sure it's a good idea?

If it's hyphenated it is one name. Same with surname. But honestly, it's generally a bad idea unless something v short

Thanks everyone. I thought it would be classed as one. Do you think this is also the case if it was a middle name?

Think it could be.

Thanks everyone. Does that mean you would only use one initial for it or both initials that make up the name - I am a little unsure

You would use both initials, so Peggy-Sue would be P.-S.
