HelpRe: French double names, anyone? (and Hilary)
in reply to a message by Dot
I like French double names, but I think they should be separate first and middle names, and perhaps just using the double name at home. Marie-Léonide is quite a mouthful for a first grader to learn to spell.
Marie-Cécile - Pretty.
Marie-Thérèse - Pretty.
Marie-Léonide - I don't really like Leonide.
Léonide-Édith - See above.
Léonide-Marthe - I don't like either name.
Léonide-Camille (ca-MEE, not ca-MEEL) - I don't like Leonide and I only like the English pronunciation of Camille.
Camille-Léonide - See above.
I think there will be some people who associate the name, but it will pass. Most associations, unless they are very strong (ie Adolph), generally fade.
