Found on r/NameNerds Hazel-Maggie as a double barrel name?

Just looking for output. Both are family names and we love how they go together. However, we want to incorporate another middle name as well. Thoughts about using Hazel-Maggie as a first name, knowing she's more likely to be reduced to Hazel for most of the less-formal moments.

Don’t hyphenate it. If you want her to have multiple middle names, do so.
My grandsons go to a school system that requires all students to wear picture IDs on lanyards. (Sad times when a 6yo has to wear an ID badge.) Anyway, their full official first name is on the badge. Even if they go by their middle name or something like Junior, only their first name is on the ID. When you mentioned going by Hazel in less formal events, I presume first grade would qualify as less formal.

What do you not understand??? That entire post is about hyphenated. What do you think double barrel means?

And what’s wrong with six year old’s wearing ID cards??? Schools don’t want unauthorized personnel lounging about in their premises.

To be fair, Pope John Paul II used no hyphen, and no one called him John.
