Re: Double-Barrelled Names

Double names are extremely rare when I live, even among the French-speaking population, so I get excited when I see them.

A few I have seen are:

Marie-Ange
Chloe-Jeanne
Jean-Luc

I love some Baroque and Rococo examples of double names, because they are often unexpectedly paired. Like Maurice-Quentin, Clara-Joanna and Constantia-Albertina. Not exactly user-friendly...but cool.

Constantia-Albertina and Clara-Joanna remind me of the non-hyphenated double barrels that pop up in Baroque > Georgian royalty: Caroline Mathilde, Sophia Dorothea, Victoria Eugenie, etc. Two distinct names that together make a specific person.

That makes sense
I really like
Chloe-Jeanne
Clara-Joanna is great combining two of my favourite names
Jean-Luc is very nice and classical
Jean is a nice add on to names.
Jean-Claude
Jean-Baptiste
Jean-Paul

Claude-Luc could maybe work
