Re: double name questions
I much prefer Michael to James, but Elijah Christian James seems to flow nicer than Elijah Christian Michael. It think it's the repeat of two syllables in Christian + Michael; Christian Elijah Michael and Michael Elijah Christian sound nicer.I've never seen double middle names hyphenated. I have a brother who's Charles Glen Clinton and a son who's Ezra Gwain Jonathan, and all the fictional characters I've seen with multiple middle names don't hyphenate them: Timothy Aloysius Cadwallader Dugan, for example. I've only ever seen hyphens in some first names (Anne-Marie, May-Beth, Mary-Kate, Jean-Paul, Jean-Bob) and for last names.
