I was reading another thread and [name_u]Clair[/name_u] struck me.
Is it too 3rd century to work in the 21st? even as the second part of a hyphenated name?
[name_m]Say[/name_m] in:
[name_m]Henri[/name_m]-[name_u]Clair[/name_u]
Pacôme-[name_u]Clair[/name_u]
[name_m]Flavien[/name_m]-[name_u]Clair[/name_u]
What about as the first part of the two? or is that a bridge too far?
[name_u]Clair[/name_u]-[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_u]Clair[/name_u]-Banneux
Banneux-[name_u]Clair[/name_u] would work I think. Depending on the last name
I just wonder if Banneux is too odd a first name to put as the first part
[name_u]Clair[/name_u]-Banneux sounds darling! 
I’m surprised by two liking that combo, maybe I’m missing something…
[name_m]Henri[/name_m]-[name_u]Clair[/name_u] is lovely. I don’t see why it can’t work.
Banneux-[name_u]Clair[/name_u] seems a little out there to me, but I love [name_m]Henri[/name_m]-[name_u]Clair[/name_u]
I don’t think [name_u]Clair[/name_u] would be too much different from something like [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f], or [name_u]Lou[/name_u] in a girl’s double name. It appears you are considering it for a boy, though, so in that case it sounds a lot more [name_m]French[/name_m], like the stereotypical [name_u]Jean[/name_u]-[name_m]Paul[/name_m] or [name_m]Paul[/name_m]-[name_u]Jean[/name_u]. I don’t think it sounds too “out there” at all, even though it might be mistaken as feminine. [name_u]Clair[/name_u]-[name_m]Henri[/name_m] or [name_m]Flavien[/name_m]-[name_u]Clair[/name_u] both sound very nice.
Yes for a boy ([name_f]Claire[/name_f] would be a girl)
I’m going for the [name_m]French[/name_m] feel, especially with a [name_u]Michel[/name_u]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f] already (we never use the [name_f]Marie[/name_f] though) so the feminine feel doesn’t bother me, [name_f]Camille[/name_f] is on our list also.
More the historic feel I get holds me back.
It seems to be getting positive comments though so maybe I’m on to something
