50+ Baby Names With a Hyphen for Your Little Girl

Why settle for one baby name when you can settle for two?

With the baby-naming process offering an endless array of options, many parents today are turning to hyphenated names to give them more bang for their buck — or, in this case, fawn. 

It’s a popular trend today, but one that’s far more common for girls than boys.

Unfortunately, just how popular they are is a bit of a mystery in the United States since the Social Security Administration (SSA) removes hyphens and spaces when releasing their annual baby name data. 

For example, the double barrelled name Julie-Anne is recorded as Julieanne in the SSA’s list of most popular baby names. 

But don’t let that fool you. 

Hyphenated names, also known as double barrel names, are very much in use today and parents are coming up with new combinations every year — so you have no shortage of choices to consider. 

Here are some of our favorite names with a hyphen for your little girl.
