Double-barrelled baby name ideas
Double-barrelled names are increasingly popular, here’s some ideas
There’s been a surge in double-barrel first names, whether it’s about social climbing or creativity - either way, classrooms are starting to see a lot more Amelia-Roses, Ellie-Mays and Billie-Jos.
Rose is probably the most popular choice - think Amelia-Rose, Summer-Rose, anything Rose really.
Short names like Ava or Ada become quite exotic when you add Jane or Lucy and if you like Lily and Grace and can’t decide which one to use why not use a combination?
Boys names are less common but there are still a good few to choose from with less obvious choices including Kai and Grey. For movie fans, Dean (as in James-Dean) may be a step too far though….
