[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not actually even the spelling - it's the spacing. Our daughter has a double-barreled first name, each name is quite short and only 1 syllable, so it is something like Anne Claire. I understand that this is not to everyones taste but it's what we named her and we love it. To those wondering, we never have had any issues with official forms, schools just calling her just Anne, etc. It is a two syllable name made up of two names that are, for most people, easily recognizable, spelled, and pronounced. It has been a total non issues except that my husband's mom always spells it AnneClaire. Gets things embroidered with AnneClaire, spells it like that in cards, etc. My husband always "reminds" (in quote, because I can't imagine she doesn't realize what she is doing) how our daughter's name is written, but she has yet to make any changes. I just ignore it and don't react (I assume she is looking for some sort of reaction from me?) but it's so odd that she insists on continuing to do this. Anyone else have a similar issue?[/quote]

The space makes her — and everyone else — think it is a first name, middle name. [/quote]

Except she knows that her granddaughter's name is Anne Claire. I'm not sure how much clearer we could be. Also, we haven't had any issues out in the real world - we write "Anne Claire" in the first name space on all forms, so no issues with just being called Anne have ever happened at school or at the doctor's office, and it's never been an issue with booking flights, filling out and receiving official government documents with her name on them...it is a total non-issue except for grandma.
