Single or hyphen first name?

Were naming our little girl Avery. we cannot decide if we want to name her Avery Elizabeth Woolard and just stick with the single first name or go with Avery-Elizabeth Faye Woolard and go the hyphen route. Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks in advance! (:

I agree.  I kind of like it without the hyphen.  Pretty name!

I like the first one. Avery elizabeth without the hyphen.  I think Elizabeth is cute for a middle name. My sisters name is bobbi ann (ann is her middle name) but a lot of us use her first and middle name when we talk to her out of habit. With my kids I usually only call them by their middle names instead of their first names. Not sure why it just happened lol.

Giving her two first names never crossed my mind. I think I like that. Thank you!

Or maybe Avery-Elizabeth Jane. We haven't quite decided on a middle name yet if we do the hyphened first name

I'm not big on hyphens. If you want to give her a double first name or two middle names go for it. One of my kids has two middle names because we couldn't decide on two names that had deep meaning for us. However, hyphenating never crossed my mind. It's too much.
