Why does everyone on here hate double barrelled names?

[Blackcurrentapple]

Just that really, I have noticed so many are against them and just wondering why?

I have 2 names I really want for dd when she arrives, I love them both, go well together, and I want to use both as I don't just want one to get swollwed up as a middle name never to be used!

Please I think it gives a option when child is older to choose if it would rather go by just one of the names!

Please tell me you reasons why you don't like them

I have a hyphenated name that was terribly popular in the 70s (thanks for the most boring unoriginal name, mum...) and have never used them together, I use a first name and a middle name.

If I have to put the full version on official documents eg passport, or hospital forms, and get called by my full name I don't really recognise it as my name!

I do think hyphenated names are a little twee. And a right mouthful if you have a double-barrelled surname as well.
