Hyphenated first names?

[Sunmoonstars33]

My DH chose the name for our baby who is due in 3 months. Its a name that has a lot of meaning to him and as I basically chose the names of our last two children (we agreed on them together and he likes them its just they were suggested by me) I think I want to use his chosen name for this child. However this name is only two letters.
The name is Io (eye oh) as in one of Jupiter's moons. My husband loves anything to do with space.
I just feel like Io is very short so I was considering hyphenating it with another more traditional name to make it longer?
I wondered what peoples thoughts were about this.... the name we would use is Celeste. So it would be Io-Celeste.
I've never actually met anyone with a double first name but I know they are common, lily Rose, Anne Marie, Lisa Marie, etc
Interested to hear peoples thoughts

Sounds like the start of a sea shanty 🤷‍♀️

When she’s old enough for you to shout up the stairs to let her know dinner’s ready you can say her name in a Freddie Mercury style….!

Reading Io people might call her Loo or Low. Thinking the I is L. What about using it for a middle name so she doesn't have to constantly correct people. It does sound like some z list celeb trying to name their kid to get more publicity.
Just saying Eye-oh-celeste then a surname is such a long name. People might also mistake them as initials.

I ws thinking Moon Unit too.

I love Io

I also love Io Celeste and think it flows well. But I do think if you have agreed to give your DH his choice, it should really be his choice. Otherwise might as well use Iolanthe etc.

I love Greek names.

This. There are lots of other perfectly good names suggested on this thread that have the same theme.

Io on it's own is better than Io-Celeste.
I would never hyphenate the two as it detracts from Io.
People will take only a small while to get used to Io.
To have to also rememeber the - and the Celeste is too fussy.

I would partner the name with an appropriate second name..
Io Phoebe
Io Celeste
Io Cosima
Io Iona
Io Estella

Iona
Iolanthe
Ione ?

Io Estella is just beautiful

@LaurieStrode @LeonBlack - Moon Unit is not a name.it’s made up and it’s bonkers. Io is a name, fairly unusual but very much a classical name. You can’t conflate the two.
