HelpAnne-Marie: to hypen or not to hyphen?
I don't live in France, or another hyphenation friendly country, but I do like Anne-Marie a lot.
Which do you think is best?
Annemarie
Anne Marie (both used as first name)
Anne-Marie
I guess there is one more alternative. I know an Annemarie, and she capitalizes Marie to emphasize it, but she keeps it all one word (like AnneMarie). I'm not a huge fan of that though.

My best friend is Ann Marie and has no middle name. I think it's a lively name just the way she has it. No hyphen, nothing fancified about it. I see you have Anne but Anne Marie would be just as nice IMHO. Sweet and wonderful in this form.

I briefly liked Anne-Marie for my youngest, dd, Anna. I have no problem with the hyphen and it sure simplifies things re: whether she's called Anne or Anne Marie. You could always mash the names together, but I don't find that sort of thing aesthetically pleasing at all. In fact, the only such name I like is Anneliese.
There's no wrong here. :-)

I like Annemarie best ^_^

Annemarie is fine. Anne-Marie is also fine. Anne Marie is unclear whether it's a double fn or fn and mn. AnneMarie looks like you're trying too hard.
Pretty name, by the way.

I like this one with the hyphen. AnneMarie is nice too, but I really don't like Annemarie without it capitalized. Having them separate is better imo, but the hyphen makes sure they're said together. So I like it best that way.

My mother's name is Anne Marie (all first name, no middle name)

I don't really have a rule for double first names / hyphenated ones. Where I live both would be accepted but in this particular case I prefer Annemarie. However, if you'd like to keep a French feel I think Anne-Marie would support that.

If it's used as a double first name I prefer Annemarie or Anne-Marie to male it clear that it's not a first and middle name.

I like it with a space. It's simplest, and most elegant in my book. :)

I like Anne-Marie and Annemarie. I don't like Anne Marie (because it's too boring and it seems like two names and not a double name) or AnneMarie (it looks like a brand name). I think Anne-Marie is fine, but Annemarie would work too.
