Thora-Toshihime-Kyoko-Freya

I was just scrolling through the full list of names given to Scottish girls in 2011 and came across this. Hyphenated names are common here, but I have never in my life come across a quadruple-barreled name. The middle two appear to be Japanese and are surrounded by the very Scandanavian-sounding [name]Thora[/name] and [name]Freya[/name]. I wonder what the story is behind it and what the little girl actually goes by. I counted 11 syllables in that name so she can’t go by all of it! There is also a Dur-E-Mcknoon which I think is actually weirder even though it’s shorter. Actually scratch that, it IS weirder.

Others seen include:
Annalyse and Annalyze
Argyll
[name]Bran[/name]-[name]El[/name]
Capitolina
Elleass (um…I tried searching to see if this was a legitimate name. [name]Don[/name]'t)
[name]Eternity[/name]
Knalah (silent Ks are a new one on me)
[name]Levi[/name]-[name]Star[/name] (+ 3 other girl Levis)
Lexghi
Mama
[name]Man[/name]
Marvellous
[name]Merci[/name]-[name]Leigh[/name]
Naimph
Occeanna-[name]Lake[/name]

It looks like the “trend” for “yooneek” and “kre8tif” spellings are gaining strength in many parts of the world. And anyone who names a girl “[name]Man[/name]” is just asking for trouble.
