There was an American dancer and actress of the mid-20th century named Vera-Ellen. She was named this supposedly because her mother had a dream about this name when she was pregnant with her and saw it as a sign that it should be her name. To me, the problem with the name is it doesn't flow at all and it's such a harsh conjunction shift from the end of the a into the e in Ellen. Even just switching it around to Ellen-Vera would have worked better imo.

What's your opinion on the name Vera-Ellen? And would you (or had you) likewise name a child a name that came to you in a dream? I doubt I would because all of my dream names seem to either be boring or bizarre, such as Patrick, Heather Blanna, & Twinkle.
