Re: Double-Barrelled Names
in reply to a message by lusia
Hmm, I prefer smoosh names (Marianne, Anneliese, Rosemarie) to hyphens. The only hyphen double-barrels I would use are French traditionals, like Marie-Claude. Anne-Sophie, etc.

I agree that names such as Marianne and Anneliese are nicer then double-barrelled name.
French and Italian double barrels are nice including Ana-Sophia as well as Anne-Sophie.

Ooh, Ana-Sophia is beautiful. I recently saw a Maria-Olympia as well (think she was Greek?), which struck me as gorgeous.

Agreed. Double barreled names of the french variety are very common where I live, they are pretty dated though. My sisters and I all have double names, my older sister and I have two first names no hyphen and my little sister has two first names with a hyphen. We all only use the first part of our names.

My twin sister and I also had double barrels with no hyphens. We almost always went by just the first part... sometimes just the second.
