If I want my girl to be called by her combined name meaning first name & middle name , do I combine them as a first name ? Or just make it a habit to call her by both and still have first and middle boxes filled in ?

Hope that makes sense lol

Yeah you could combine it as a first name but still have it be two separate names. Like John Paul for example.

oh I see . All first name just have a space between

You can hyphenate them too, or whatever you think looks the best.

Can you share what they are?

all girls i know with a double name have a hyphen

but i also have a friend named audra grace but that’s just her first & middle which have become habit

Just my opinion but I think the hyphen is a good way to help make it clear they are both the first name when it’s written down.
I used to work for a woman whose full first name was Mary Cullen, and we were corresponding pretty much only by email so I assumed she had two last names, and I kept addressing her as just Mary. She got annoyed one day and asked that I call her Mary Cullen and it took me a while to realize that was actually her entire first name 😂

My best friend calls her daughter by first and middle and they are not hyphenated

I would hyphenate.
Combining into one looks odd to me!

I think using both as a first would be fine, with a space. I have lots of Anna Kate’s and Mary Katherine’s around me and no one blinks an eye. My little guy is Jean Pierre and we’ve never run into any problems with the double first name.

If you choose to combine them instead of hyphenate, I would capitalize the first letter of the 2nd part as well “AlanaNoelle”

Avatar

I'd say hyphenate or just make it a habit of calling her both. It might not stick tho, my mom wanted everyone to call me Jayme Lynn and that didn't happen lol

Avatar

right lol I feel like it’s long and the second name might not stick
