Friend named her girl Scarlett-June

[LittleMissMummaBear]

My best friend just named her daughter Scarlett-June. I usually think hyphenated names are tacky (think Lily-May) and I've never ever liked them.
But unlike the other hyphenated tacky names out there, I think Scarlett-June is just gorgeous! It's so picturesque and beautiful. Scarlett is really spunky but then you had the -June on the end and you get a great name (I think).
So, my question (and my friend's) is are ALL hyphenated names tacky? Do you like the name Scarlett-June?
btw my friend asked me to make this thread, she's given the thumbs up, don't worry!
I'm interested to hear your thoughts! x

My little girls name is hyphenated but not with the usual may/rose ect.. but her first name is very very unusually most people haven't heard it being used as a name before xx

It's a big name to carry. Most people get their names shortened for them anyway don't they.

Tacky, sorry!whenever I hear someone shouting out a double barrelled name I just think 'twat'. Nobody needs two first names! And all her friends will call her Scarlett.

Sorry I really don’t like it. I don’t think the two names go well together and don’t like either of them individually either. Sorry!!

No one will ever actually call her that though will they? Regardless of one’s opinion of double-barrelled names generally, shouting out “Lily-May” in the park is a very different prospect to calling out “Scarlett-June” iyswim.

June-Scarlett sounds better to my ears.

I really dislike hyphenated names, sorry.

Why would you post the name on here though 🤔

Tbh if your “friend” named and registered the baby as the name you’ve said it’s irrelevant what the MN jury thinks. As long as your “friend” likes the name and her dd is fit and well that’s all that matters.

For my two pence worth it’s better to have two short names if hyphenated.

I don't mind the traditional, classic hyphenated names like Anne-Marie or Mary-Ann, dated though they are, but I really don't like the modern trend of hyphenating names to be 'yooneek'.

I quite like Scarlett with June as a middle name, but the hyphen is totally unnecessary & doesn't add anything IMO.

Sorry, OP & friend.

Im going against the grain here I think scarlett-june is adorable, however she is likely to be called scar as she gets older.

Too much of mouthful for me - people will end up just saying Scarlett, so I’d scarlett first name and June middle name.
Btw both names lovely- just the double barrelled not to my liking

Is she Chinese? If so it makes sense . Otherwise tacky.

I just don't see the point in double barrelled names I've only ever met 3 children who use the full name and all 3 had very overbearing parents who would explode in anger if the name was shortened.

Everyone else just uses the first part of the name, so the hyphenated part would make just as much sense as a middle name.

I don't think Scarlett and June go together that well. I am trying to imagine calling someone that name in a work environment and it just sounds wrong.

I really don't see the point of this thread... Your friend has already named her child so why does she care what random people think now? 😕

I can't bring myself to be a judgemental arse about kids names and lazily lumping all names (except your friends "picturesque and beautiful" name of course) that aren't to my liking as "tacky'. That behaviour is far "tackier" than any name could ever be.

Since you ask though, no I really don't think I like those names together. I know quite a few Scarlett's which is fine on its own although I always think of the fever.

I don't think it tacky but I don't particularly think those names go together.

I think it totally depends on the name. The Ellie/Lily Mae/Rose thing is just so 'common'.
More unusual less popular names can sound lovely.

One of the few cases where Rose might have been better. Scarlett-Rose sort of makes sense.

To those asking, we made the thread to see the general view that people have of hyphenated names. My friend is set on the name Scarlett-June. She will go by SJ. x

Makes me smile - because joon tacked onto the end of a name or title means ‘darling’ or ‘dear’ as a term of endearment.

Whatever she prefers. I like Scarlett-June.

Not s fan of double barrelled names full stop.
Tacky isnt the issue, I just dont understand giving 2 names for a first name. It is either a mouthful or one name gets dropped anyway.
Scarlett June as first and middle names works just fine in my view.

She will go by SJ ok that's lost and completely. If she likes the names so much why choose to ignore them and use initials

But each to their own.
