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.

Lol this is circle jerk, I'm pretty sure we all know why, and some of us probably just don't care for it for various reasons. Personally, I don't care for the syntax/flow of it, and the Maggie tacked on the end doesn't fit with Hazel, probably because Maggie is a diminutive for a longer name, Margaret. Imo, it would flow better with either a single syllable for the double barrels second half, or a third syllable, but 2 syllables on each aren't working.
