Double (not necessarily hyphenated) names?

[MariaMadita]

Anna Lucia, Anna Caterina, Anna Gloria, Anna Luisa, Clara Luisa etc...

Yay or nay?

TIA :)

Ivy May. Oh dear.

I agree it looks nicer without the hyphen. People I know with double names, with or without hyphens, are:
Dawn Marie
Mary Jane
Anna Louise
Simon Peter
Amy Jo
Vicki Jo
Sally Anne
Sarah Jane
Bonita Ann
Ulrike Claire
Lynn Marie
John Mark
John Paul

I like them in general, but I have a pet peeve for the Archie-Lee type names mentioned by a previous poster, especially where the surname is also hyphenated.

Wouldn't look out of place in lreland either although its not a trend at the moment here.
Typical ones would be
Marie Therese
Mary Teresa
Anna Rose
Donna Rose
Julia Anne
Mary Kate
Sarah Louise
Anne Louise
Dorothy Anne
Sheila Anne

Pretty much, although the social stigma is the opposite of the hyphen problem ie it's a bit nouveau/snob/pretentious. Think Violet Elizabeth Bott from just William

I feel like I should understand this sentence but I unfortunately don't. Someone that changed their name from William to Violet Elizabeth? I mean, there is a certain social stigma, but...?

Have you considered Marianna, Julianna, Lillianna or anne ending?

A compromise, easier to say, still two names in one?

All sorts of challenges on paperwork for different countries. Anything after the first word is considered "middle name" in some places/forms and two names written in first name space on form may be questioned or delayed for a confirmation it is not a mistake/find a way to enter it into a computer system.

How is clear on reading which is the section you want as first, which is middle and therefore not to be said? It's not without a hyphen or joining the first and second, so there will be a lot of either only using the first word or and having to correct. Not everyone remembers name corrections.

Also not a fan of hyphens as pp said, plus all the over the top dramatic names can sound pretentious. Asking someone to pronounce very lengthy names has a feeling of importance about it when the next kid is called one a syllable name.

School roll call...

"Violet Elizabeth Luisiana Mckenzie Macaroni?" Here

"Bob?" Yeah I'm still here

Maybe join the first two to be one word. I know Annelina, Annaluisa etc. Will be easier on forms, no confusion on which name is officially which and will be sure it is said properly for the rest of time.

Or accept that you are choosing what will be in practice multiple middle names and a lot of people will drop to just the first name.

In the UK it's not unusual for full names to be jokingly said when 'telling off', e.g. raher than "Marie stop that" it's "Marie Elizabeth Surname stop that". It seems very formal to have two names with a pause between them.

Just William is a children's book. Violet Elizabeth Bott was his neighbour.

Not really, tbh. hm... Maybe? I'll have to run that by DH. (Who really doesn't like double names for boys, btw...)

I feel like the the LO could decide (once they're old enough) whether they want to correct people or not?

There wouldn't be a pause. :)

The full name might sound like AnnaChiara Severina Surname, e.g.

Thanks :)

Ah, thanks, Mike

And she was... Pretentious? So Violet Elizabeth is meant to be a stereotypically 'prissy' name?

Google it.
Marianna, Julianna and Lilianna are too flouncy.

I did, Mike.
He seemed a bit naughty, Violet Elizabeth slightly manipulative and her mother is incredibly rude...

It's the nouveau riche, delusions of grandeur type of association. It's a very British issues!

Perfect:) If you are happy with that then there's no problem. I was thinking along the lines of, will you end up with the name getting lost and you being upset. If you are relaxed about it, then that's good.

It's the nouveau riche, delusions of grandeur type of association thanks for the explanation.

Pretty relaxed, I guess?
