Double barreled first names generally means "of the lower class". There is a girl I know who is called Sarah-May for example. Perfectly nice girl, but she cannot speak without sounding like she is auditioning for either Eastenders or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

My ex-girlfriend had a double barrelled surname and was one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. She wasn't particularly posh although the last x thousand generations of her family had been to Oxford. Aside from that, she was fine.

So anyway yeah go for it.
