[Opinions] If you had ..
.. give your daughter a double name, how would you name her? Anne Marie & Anne-Marie are fine, but I count Annemarie as one name

I would probabvly use Mila if I had a daughter right now, and I like Lee and Rae/Ray in double names. Mila-Lee sounds stupid, so Mila-Rae I guess.
I want Zephyr-Lily or Rain-Lily but realistically -
Eve-Solenn
Mary Magdalene. Honouring me and my mother (Maria and Magdalena).

Fig-Benía
Either Marie-Noëlle or Marie-Soleil.
Lucy-Jane
Alice-AnneI don't think I would, IRL, and I certainly wouldn't for a boy. Except for Tom-Fred the donkeyman from Under Milk Wood, I can't think of any male double names.
I'd probably go with Noa-Skye
I've liked Anna-Jane for a while. The classic Anne-Marie can't go wrong either.
I can also recall a book from my childhood about the little bat named Stellaluna and I was always mesmerized by that name. So memorable and rhythmic, it's addictive to say!
I'd go with Luna-Fae.
Rose-Amy alt
Rose-Evemore I thought of
May-Claire
Mary-Dee
Sara Jean
Carol Leigh
Ada ReneeI like the look of them without a hyphen, but in real life I think it'd be useful, simplifying.
I'd probably go with Lily-Rose, despite it being clichéd. I'm also a long-time admirer of Eliza Jane, which another poster mentioned. My name is Elizabeth, and my sister is a J name, so it would be a nice honoring name in that respect - plus it references both Laura Ingalls Wilder and Pride & Prejudice / Jane Austen, both of which I love.So, Lily-Rose was my first instinct, but I've talked up Eliza Jane, and I'm going with that. :)
My sister wanted to do Tillie Beth but had a boy
I don't really like the hyphenated name look.
Eila Evelyn ?
Little house in the prairie farmer boy had Eliza Jane which I thought was cute 😍
There was a Cora Anne in my tree I like
I guess I don't really think of double names but the middle name could be if it is used with the first name. For some reason all my kids love using their first and middle names together ❤️.
Names I would consider using in a double name because they are family related would be Stella, Sophie, Anne, and Alice but unsure what combo I would do. I like using Lynn as that was my father's middle name so combining anything with Lynn would probably make it more special.
There are so many I like
Lucy Caroline
Charlotte Anne
Alice Marie
Eleanor-Rose
Lily-Rose
Bella Luna
Lucy Rose
Mary Frances
Boy: Xander Lee, Tommy FrancisGirl: Ada Fleur, Aurelia Faye, Mary Frances, Mary Grace or Mary Laurel, Darcy Violet, Alice Anna, Orla May, Jeannie Faye, Hannah Claire, Millie Kate, Ginny Laurel, Polly Anna, Millie Joy, Cecily Ann
Rosa Jane
Anna Lisa
Amy Simone
Ruby Diane
Mary Stella (I wish SO much Stella wasn't a brand of beer here...)
Maybe either Shae Marie or Peggy Rose
Probably the basic Lily Mae, honestly!I also like Clara Mae, Thea Mae, Lily Wren, and Georgia Mae(Mae is an honoring name for me lol)
I'm not sure. I'll probably come back and post my own answer, but recently I met a little girl named Tala-Rose and I thought it was super pretty. I'm now using Tala as a character's name. And in a book I'm currently reading, one of the main characters is named Marie-Laure. I like that too. I think there's a pretty big chance I'd use something like one of those on a child of mine if I wanted a double name.
Laura-Louise is a double name I've admired for a long time. Both names of very good friends, too! I also love Carol-Anne.
I love Laura-Louise because it's the name (without the hyphen, I believe) of Minnie Castevet's nosy, frumpy, fellow-Satanist best friend in Rosemary's Baby!
That is one of my favourite movies, and the frumpy Satanist Laura Louise definitely inspired my love for the name! It helped me appreciate Minnie as well.
Ruby-Rose
I always thought Anne-Laure was lovely. Mary-Maud would also be cute! Agnes-Amy (honoring)?

Mary Maud is definitely cute!
