I just wanted to clarify -- I voted "dislike" but I only dislike the actual hyphenation. I have no problem at all with two middle names, I just don't like to see two random names stuck together with a hyphen. (ie Christopher Andrew James is fine, Christopher Andrew-James is weird to me.)


The only time I ever really understand a hyphen in a name is when a couple combines their surnames to make a common shared name (ie Smith-Jones) rather than having one person take the other's last name. I don't see the point of it at all when dealing with given names.
