What is everyone's opinion on having a double first name with no hyphen, along with a middle name! Needing help and advice.

Now I have thought about using a hyphen, but I think it would cause more confusion as they get older filling out SS Forms, scantrons when their in school etc. And I just don't think they it looks cute with a hyphen.

Thoughts ?! Opinions ?!

Can you give us some examples of what you had in mind?

I love the name Demi Rose. But was more so wanting to have that a first name.. and also having a middle name. So Demi-Rose Latrease.

I also thought about combining the two first names.. DemiRose... or Demirose... or Demi'Rose Latrease

I can understand not wanting a hyphen, but I do know that a lot of governmental forms have hyphens available...but you're right, probably there are some cases where it could be very annoying.  Then again, I think there are probably forms that don't have an option to have a space either.  Maybe you can go with the "smooshing it together option",  I think Demirose is cute, and I like DemiRose as well.  Seeing names with apostrophes in them always make me wonder what the apostrophe is replacing (as that's what they're used for....ex:  the apostrophe in they're is replacing " a"  [space a]), so I don't like that solution as much.  

 

I'd probably end up going with the hyphen, honestly:  Demi-Rose is visually my favorite of all the options, I feel like it's the easiest to immediately pronounce, and lots of French people have hyphenated names, so....if you are traveling internationally there will be no issues.
