Out of curiosity: in Denmark, would people with hyphenated names such as these generally be referred to by the full hyphenated name ("Hans-Peter"), or might they end up going by just one of them in day-to-day life ("Hans" or "Peter")?

People with these first names generally goes by their full hyphenated names, rather than just one of them on a daily basis. There's probably some who goes by only one of their names, if so only the first of them I gather, but I've never personally encountered one of those people in all my life, so I believe those are single cases rather than the normality here.
