[Opinions] French double names, anyone? (and Hilary)
I'm going through a huge French phase, and really loving double names. What do you think- are French double names workable in an English-speaking country? Are they totally pretentious? Should they stay GPs? Should they be made separate first and middle names, with the double name as a family nickname? (Ex: Marie Léonide Lastname, called Marie-Léonide at home.)These are some that have been on my mind, opinions?
Marie-Cécile
Marie-Thérèse
Marie-Léonide
Léonide-Édith
Léonide-Marthe
Léonide-Camille (ca-MEE, not ca-MEEL)
Camille-LéonideTo save board space, asking the other question on my mind: would Hilary get constantly associated with Clinton? Or Duff? My mother immediately jumped to Hillary Duff, and I have worried people would immediately think Clinton, since the media and most people call her Hillary, not Clinton (which bugs me a lot, but is another story). Thoughts?Thanks in advance!
