I do like a few that are about..

 

What names do you like that are hyphenated or do you prefer not to use the '-' hyphen.

 

I know of quite a few kids named with hyphens

 

To name those i know of that i can think of right now are-

 

Cyr@h-J - Sibling is Zaid0n-Li [meant to be lee i believe]

 

Then there is..

 

Gr@cie-L3igh, H@ll3-Ma3 and Keel@n-J@y [siblings]

Personally, I don't like hyphens in certain names (like in my Ashley Jade Marilyn combo) but I do like them on others (Mary-Kate, Tara-Lynn, etc.) For me, it's about how they would look with or without it. Anna Maria is gorgeous, but I don't like how Anna-Maria looks. Hope that makes sense, lol :)

I dislike the hyphens also, I think it just looks cleaner without them; for example I adore the double first name Ava Posey, but I think Ava-Posey doesn't look as good. This is just my opinion though, I'm sure there are lots of people out there who would prefer it with a hyphen, I am just not one of those people.

Totally.. I don't mind either i think some look better than others also as you do Karina.. and that they also flow well i think is another good one.

Something like Olivia- Paris to me doesn't flow all that well.. and i also know of another sibset that i forgot to mention above too.. darn...Unfortunately i cannot edit the post to add those names so i will add them here. of course i want to keep the children's name anonymous so i have added symbols so they are not found as they are just exampled of the hyphen styles. But they are recognisable.

 

The other sibset i know of are-

 

Ph0eniX-R0$e, Xavi3r-Bl@!ne and G@bri3l-Jam3$

I love double first names (my favorite being Nora Kate and Jaime Claire) but I am not a huge hyphen fan I feel it takes away from the name and makes it look trendy instead of sophisticated. Just my opinion

Pass on hyphenated names. My mother's first name has a hyphen and only family ever called her by her full name (Linda-Ann). I think the name after the hyphen has a tendency to get dropped a lot

They aren't my style necessarily though I love double first/ middle names. My son has two middles, not hyphenated. If I had a girl she'd have two first names, Mabel Riley :) some hyphens are cute but I guess I like how they look better without.

I'm really not a fan of them at all. I'd rather gor FN and MN or FN 2 MNs if indecisive (but I'm not a fan of double MNs either, so...)

Not a fan of hyphenated name. Do enjoy double first or middle name just no hyphens.

I don't like hyphenated names at all really. Somtimes it's ok, but i would neber use one myself. I don't really like double first names either. Again, some ate ok, but I would never actually use any of them myself.

I like them sometimes as it brings clarity. Sometimes, it looks cleaner without the hyphen. It depends.

I've only been a fan of one hyphenated name that I can recall and that that's the name Carole-Eve but I also like it just as much as Carole Eve. But usually, its a staunch NO from me on hyphenated names for me.
