Re: Hyphenated names
in reply to a message by Ana
1) I used to like them a lot but they recieve bad publicity and I don't see the point when most of the time they get called by the first name anyway. I considered a lot that the second name was Rae, e.g. Kimberly-Rae, Liliana-Rae etc. Nowadays the only one I would consider is Riley-Beth - and in that case I would call her Riley-Beth all of the time.
2) I haven't met many in real life; Sally-Ann - who was just Sally to us. Sophie-Jo who I think usually goes by Sophie and Ellie-May/Mae who I think is called Ellie-May a lot of the time.
3) Kind of answered this is (1), I'd use Riley-Beth, no competition.
4) I would prefer a double name to be hyphened so it wouldn't get confused as the seperate first and middle names, I'm not a fan of name-mashed, e.g. I wouldn't like Rileybeth, that just looks wrong.I like Ruby-Jane from your list. Personally I wouldn't use a hyphenated name on a boy at all, but that's just me.
