She might hate the fact that a google search of her name will turn up this thread.

I doubt she'll hate it. It's a perfectly fine name. Nina Isabella is pretty run of the mill. The last names are long, but that's not a big deal and you can't do anything about that.

She needs 2 last names since back home they'll think she doesn't have a dad if we don't include it. Also she gets to choose which last name to carry once she's married.
Anyway I wanted to make sure it passed the playground test.
Here in the US she'll be Nina I. Dharmapuri so I don't think it will be that horrible, right?

All I can say is I have a daughther with --
two-syllable first name
one-syllable middle name
and
a long hyphenated last name, both of which are "unusual" to most American ears.
Everyone gets used to it. Daughter will probably opt for just one of the two hyphenated last names (I'm guessing the first) when she gets older and feels cranky about spelling 14 letters.
I will say that in the US, the "e" is going to be a challenge for most people. And in combination with the apostrophe, it might be too much for someone on the other end of the line (May I take your order? Can you spell that, please? Can you spell it again? Let me read it back to you? Oh, I got it wrong? Is that and "e" and then a space? Holy sh*t, let me call my manager..."
) Can you just use d'Angieri-Dharmapuri?

Lose the Isabella and the "e".
Nina d'Angieri Dharmpuri works.

Nina Isabella is great. The rest is very complicated but it's fine because I imagine she will only use the first two and the last most of the time? If that's the case then it's a beautiful name

Sorry OP, but this name is not good. too complicated, too many syllables and languages (french? indian? hindi?). And just plain awful.

We're not sure we're staying in the US forever so I want DD to have a name that will work well enough here, in my country and in DH's country.
Please be honest, will she hate it? Also, tips on the spelling of first and last name are welcome.
Nina Isabella d'Angieri e Dharmapuri
