I'd much, much prefer without the hyphens though.

Sindri-Snær for a boy and Edda-Rún for a girl

Oh! I forgot about one of my ancestors being an Anna-Elizabeth and I'm a pretty big fan of that one too. Anna-Elizabeth or Marie-Claire for me I think. Or Diana-Catherine

I also dislike hyphenated names, but I'd go with Henry-James for a boy. I'd also choose Janet-Louise, Hester-Anne, Maria-Kate, and Darla-Faye for a girl.

Paul-Louis Sébastien
Marie-Catherine Héloïse

Jon-Louis (LOO-ee) & Kitty-Beth

Anna-Luisa and Donato-Paolo. All the names would honor relatives.

Maria-Francesca & Josep-Lluís

The only ones that really seem natural to me are French, and I like some of those, but atm they seem too polished and Catholic to work for a child of mine. The next most natural seeming options are Puritan names and plant names, so I guess a couple of these:

Bay-Laurel, Clary-Sage, Hope-Still, Morning-Glory, Prairie-Rose, Apple-Blossom, Christmas-Fern, Evergreen-Winterberry, Cherry-Birch, Love-Joy, True-Heart, Seek-Wisdom, Make-Peace...

Mary-Anne comes to mind, I probably read too many Baby-sitters Club books when I was younger.
I also like:
Chloe-Anne
Lucy-Jane
Jean-Claude
Marie-Claire
Essentially any two basic names combined, I like two-syllable-hyphen-one-syllable combos the best. They just please my ear, you know?

Lily-Mae and James-Joseph

I like Sara-Lee, Ju-ri, and Mary-Isla are my favorites! I like no male hyphenated names

I dislike hyphens, but... Lia-Crystal and Michael-Ezra.

Luna-Fae and August-Finn

Yu-ri (a Korean name).

---

I like the name Yuriy, and Yu-ri sounds similar. So I would choose Yu-ri.

Rose-Amy & ...

---

wow, I feel like I have never thought about hyphenated names for a boy before. (I probably have and just didn't love them, so forgot)
Had to try to make some up, a list to pick from.

---

I think I'm going with Marc-Laurence.

---

Zamy & Marclo for fun

Christopher-Robin (Ik I'm a sadist for even considering it but it's literally the only one that comes to mind) and Marie-Claire. Marie-Claire, and a few other hyphenated girl names I would consider IRL if not for the regional barriers of being a northern American where two-part names are pretty rare. My sister is NEVER called her full hyphenated name anymore, not since infancy. It just doesn't stick here and almost inevitably is shortened to the first half. You have to practically fight people to get them to call you a full hyphenated name here.

Christopher-Ian
Willa-Hermione

Jean-Claude and Marie-Soleil.
