Bo-Pierre and other unusual hyphenated names

[Stellan]

Lovely story about a gorgeous baby girl delivered by her Dad in minutes in the family bathroom: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-18070257

Her proud mum and dad have named her Bo-Pierre which leads me to wonder: what's the most unusual hypenated name you've come across?

Girl in cousins class with the name Nikita-Mariah and to top it all surname is double barrelled too.

Names i've come across: April-May, Stay-C, Kay-Tee, Lotus-Elan, Tia-Maria

Lotus élan?

You just know the family car is a souped up skoda

Moll-Leigh.

We had a family of children who all had Eric something as a first name. They all then had a different second name hyphenated on and a different surname. There were 3 of them. (Fortunately none of them were girls).

April-May just made me snort tea out of my nose

Not hyphenated but dreadful- overheard both " Dijonnais" and "Chardonay" .
Also heard of parents attempting to name a child Chlamidya!! I kid you not

Various spellings of Milaena comes up a lot on naming boards too - "blood in faeces" to anyone in the medical profession.

Flair-Hickory.

From across the pond, apparently.

There was a girl on Junior Bake Off called Coco-Nina, which struck me as unusual.

Emmi-leah.

Pronounced the same as Amelia

Back home in the States, I knew a girl called Ashleigh-Lee.

One of my biggest bug bears, is people who break up a whole name by a hyphen, for example I once knew an Eliza-Beth. You would think that would be pronounced as two distinct names; Eliza + Beth, but no, she was Elizabeth just as Eliza-Beth. I once saw a Lu-Cee in a birth announcement and an An-Drew. I mean FFS.

Evie-Kay why?!

An-Drew. Please tell me you're making that one up.

This is a made-up thread, isn't it?

Le-a. Pronounced Ledasha. Yep, that's no silent hyphen!

Ledasha is an urban myth isn't it? I've heard that one dozens of times before

It is!

Do you think in Germany there are people who call their kids Umlaut and get sneered at on Mutternet? Would love to see question in a different language.

Ivie-Jay

Here in Germany there are also hyphenated names, it's not unusual. Or names just stuck together.

Anna-Lena
Sophie-Marie
Annkathrin

The name which gets ridiculed the most in Germany is Kevin. There was a spate of them some 10 years ago.
