Lily-May, Kizzi-Leigh or Lexi-Jean?

[ChunkysMum]

For a friends pfb. Middle name Anne.

What do you think? Which do you prefer?

Thanks.

Bernard, Egbert and Malcolm would be worse for a girl.

There is someone somewhere with a a Riley but spelt Ry-lee

Cara-Louise?

I am afraid I would be inclined to forget and say Tia-Maria.

As the owner of a hyphenated name I bloody hate them. Growing up its a nightmare, done PCs refuse to put a hyphen in, you get people that think the second part of your first name is your surname. You can get nothing with your name on it, I remember crying over getting my name on a jacket thing and the poor woman took pity on me and fashioned me a hyphen then my name wouldn't fit on the back anyway, getting the piss ripped out you and being called X-Y Walton and a hillbilly. Now I get called three names, my full hyphenated one, the first part of my name and my initials.

The second list is better than the original post :)

Prefer Lila to Lily. Bored of hearing of May as a middle name though!

I wouldn't hyphenate at all.
I dislike them all.
Lily Anne would be my choice - as Lily.

Lexi-jean is unusual. I kind of like it! Jean is my middle name and I've never liked it. But lexi gives it a new lease of life. Lexi sounds like a 1920s cabaret singer in Berlin. Cool.

I don't think there is anything wrong with hyphenated names per se, it's the names themselves that are often the problem. People who love hyphens often have appalling taste.

I don't like hyphenated names though I do like some double names (I know of a Louisa Kate, a Jessica Rose and an Anna June, all of whom are called those names, and I think they're nice) but Lexi-Jean is sort of spunky. Alexandra Jean, called Lexi or Lexi-Jean wouldn't be terrible.

I really don't like Tia at all, but if your friend likes it, go for it. :)

no she should be Keziah Leigh Anne and they can nickname her whatever they like.

(only because I think those names are lovely in their own right just don't chop them up)

Popping back 'cause I met a Rose-Vita today, really rather liked that. German lady in her (I'm guessing) 70's.

Oh bless! Horrible to be struck down. If any of those names suit your baby then go for it. I like Jeannie too. I think they would all be fine if she turns out to be a country singer in Nashville though, if Im honest.

Kizzi sounds like it should be a nickname and I think that no matter what you paired it with she will just get kizzi for short or kiz which is horrible. I've never been a fan of the name lexi at all sorry it just sounds like something that belongs in an episode of Hollyoaks.
