When I hear the name Wilberforce I immediately think of William Wilberforce so I imagine it could be to honour him, or I guess it could be a family surname.
I'm totally baffled by the two cases of hyphenated mns. In my experience, a hyphenated fn means that the child uses both: Sally-Anne and Peter-John, for instance. So the hyphen is a signal. But who will ever see the hyphen in the case of mns? Only some bureaucrat or banker. What can the point of it possibly be?
No doubt it's possible that little Bella and Holly got their mns in honour of, respectively, Lilly and Anne, Lisa and Jane. But I don't believe it!

Hyphenated middle names baffle me as well! Hyphenated first names are quite trendy with some people (particularly young parents I've noticed) so maybe it's an extension of that? But I don't think it makes much sense really.
Bella Lilly-Anne -hmm, think the parents like double letters??
