Help[Opinions] Re: Strange find
in reply to a message by Anneza
Combination names are common in Afrikaans. This one is new, and like most combination names, I hate it. As for its functionality, in Afrikaans communities, the pronunciation would be intuitive. I've never met anyone named Ruth-Anne. I hadn't considered that as a double-barrel before, so there wouldn't be any confusion among Afrikaans speakers. It's not a name that travels well, though.

To be fair, Rouxzanne is probably the worst combination name I've seen; I've never met a Ruth-Anne either, but I have seen the name used in, I think, an American context. My good friend Louette was named after her grandmothers, Louise and Henriette, and I think it works quite well.
Louette is a beautiful combo name! So cool it came from both grandmothers
Louette is pretty. It sounds and reads like a real name.
