[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Catholic with family in the south, I’ve been around double-barreled names my entire life. It’s fairly routine to go by both the first and middle names. There’s no need to smush together and hyphenating is low-brow. Nobody ever suggests smushing together or hyphenating boys names, so let’s not do it to girls. People will call your kid whatever you tell them to, and once she goes to kindergarten it’s her choice. [/quote] OP might not live in the south. Double first names are much less common in the rest of the country, especially for boys. When you hear Jim Bob or Billy Ray, you know their parents didn’t hail from Connecticut. Annmarie would help people who aren’t southern get her name right.[/quote] LOL, my dh had an aunt Ann Marie whose parents, did in fact, hail from Connecticut! I think Anne Marie looks nice, because they both end in 'e'.[/quote]
