Named Charlynda, named for her dad Charlie and mom Lynda. That works. Soft ch, like Charlene rather than Charles.
And I know a Camala (rhymes with Pamela) whose name comes from her mother's maiden name, Carolyn Maxine La---.
And my husband had a great-aunt who was named Margaret Ann after both grandmothers but was usually called Martannie.
