Re: Help with French hyphenated names?!
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
That I know of, there's no "rule", just that the names aren't too close-sounding or non-euphonic. The first part of the name is constructed most of the time by Marie or Anne for girls, Jean or sometimes Paul for boys.
Unlike in the US, hyphenated names in France and Italy are perceived as being upper class and possibly a bit snooty. Of yours I like:
Anne-Sophie
Anne-Amelie
Anne-Lucie
Anne-Victoire
Anne-Aurelie
Anne-Ophelie
Anne-Melisande
Anne-Alienor
Anne-Helene
Anne-Sylvie
Anne-Coralie
Marie-Lucienne
Marie-Oceane
Marie-Charlotte
Marie-Eliane
Marie-Chantal
Marie-Pauline (Pauline is familial)
Marie-Helene
Marie-Genevieve
Jean-Amedee
Marie-Chloe
Anne-Chloe
Anne-Eloise
Paul-Alain
Paul-Alexandre
Paul-Michel
Paul-David
Paul-Daniel
Jean-Michel
Jean-Alexandre
Jean-Pierre
Jean-David
Jean-Daniel
Jean-Alexis
Jean-Charles
Marie-Fleur
