I grew up when the Marie hyphenated names were in full force in Québec. I went to school with girls named Marie-Michelle, Marie-France, Marie-Chantal, Marie-Julie, Marie-Sophie, Marie-Ève, Marie-Claude, Marie-Pier, etc.

Not that I hate the names, but they feel so associated to my generation that they don't feel fresh to me. If I had to chose, I kind of like Marie-Stella. I would also chose names like Marianne and Marilou, which are both contraction of Marie-Anne and Marie-Louise.

My favorites are Marie-Estelle and Marie-Claire. I also came up with Marie-Della, which I actually think sounds quite pretty!

Marie-Louise

We have so many "Marie" including hyphenation names in Denmark, but they're typically as the second part of that hyphenation, so there weren't many "Marie-" to choose from other than Marie-Louise (I love), which is a pretty common one. They tend to be Anne-Marie, Ellen-Marie, etc.

I also love Marie-Angèle. I was disappointed that it's not already in the database but I did add it to my Google doc of middle name ideas.

Marie-Claire. Hands down. I would keep it on the short list if not for the fact it's very French and I'm only a fraction French descent. If I married a Frenchman, Marie-Claire would be well in the running. Beautiful to me. I also love Marie-Rose to a slightly lesser extent.

The hyphen is not required. They can simply be first and middle names.
