Double barrelled girls names

[Caitlin2020]

Any ideas so far I like Harper Halle willow but would love a cute second part to the name ie Rae etc and unusual names???? Or not so common x

People on here hate double barrelled names. I have one so the rude comments annoy me. And yes I always use my full name

I’ve never had a problem with ppl saying her names schools docs etc always say it as may, anyway can I please just get some suggestions of names that I asked for lol:/ even single girls names please x

There is an area of Manchester called Harpurhey (once named the most deprived neighbourhood in England), so Harper Rae rings warning bells to me.

I like all your suggested first names, pretty and distinctive. I think they are great without a hyphenated addition on the whole, but some suggestions:

Willow-Rose (v popular middle name but sound pretty together)
Halle-Sue
Harper-Jo

Jane, Anne, Beth, Lou are all other options for the second part.

I don’t think you can have Elle-May and something-Rae OP. It’s really too much and a bit naff (sorry). Can’t uou just choose one of your first names and with no -Rae stuck on the end?!

What about -Belle or -Rose for the second part

Harper-Belle?

Harper-Rose

Harper lee/leigh

My Mum double barrelled my name in the 90s. It wasn’t cool then and it definitely isn’t now, I hate it personally and have never ever used the hyphen. My ‘middle name’ is similar to Mae/Rae to make things worse, I resent it greatly.

@Namechange8471 OP and her DD will get many questions on race relations and the sequel.

I know of an Ella-Jayne

It's shit having a double-barrelled name.
Airlines have real bother with it.
Passport office doesn't like it. I had one with the hyphen and one without and nobody noticed, it was no fun getting a learner driving licence etc with that.
I haven't got a middle name, but people think I do have one. I feel like I've missed out!
Nothing is ever addressed to me properly.
People mis-spell both parts.
I hated it, it meant I was so different at school and people took the absolute piss until I left school and decided to be called just by the first bit which made my Mum sad.
I was going to legally change my name to just the first part, but my Mum was quite upset by it.
Think carefully before saddling your child with this.

Passport office doesn't like it.

Oddly, I've never had a problem with my passport. I think the only time I've had an issue with it is the online payment system for DD's school uniform shop.

That said, Tesco Clubcard think I am in a civil partnership with myself as Mrs A-B Dragon and Mrs B Dragon but I think that mistake crept in for other reasons 😂

Mai is a welsh name and is pronounced My.
-Mae, -Rae names are not to my taste.
Harper-Halle is a bit of a tongue twister and makes me think of Harper Adams.

Harper-Ray makes me think of someone trying to stick a harpoon into a stringray.

How about Density-Rae?

Mai is a welsh name and is pronounced My.

The only Mai (pronounced My) I know is Vietnamese.

I hate double barrelled names.

The only one I would entertain is Mary Jane ( and yes I know what it’s slang for )

Mai Tai - cocktail pronounced My Tie

I’ve noticed! Ahaha wow only asked

I have a double barrelled name. Absolutely hate it. As soon as I became a teenage I only answered to my nickname 30 years later still only answer to my nickname. Double barrelled names are flouncy and overly girly. Don’t do it.

There are some lovely names that almost sound double barrelled without being so, like Annaliese, Annabelle, Annmarie... admittedly these all begin with Ann but perhaps there are others!

I'm not a fan of hyphenated names either but I like these which I think sound like 2 names:

Luella
Annaliese
Lorelei
Coralie

Out of curiosity what is your other daughters name; the one who isn't double barreled?
While I don't like double barreled names it's your child.
I think Willa-Rae is cute and you mentioned you liked Willow

I went to high school with a Sarah Beth and a Ema Kate and both of them seemed to like their names double barreled even though Kate and Beth were used as middle names. Is that a possibility?

Name her Willow Rae not hypened but you could call her Willow-Rae

Harper and Halle are tacky enough without adding a hyphen into the mix.
