Two name's combined to make one...

I don't know if I worded the subject right but, oh well.

I never really liked the idea of combo names even though my name is a combo name (Millard and Brenda=Melinda) until my sister had my niece.  She and her boyfriend had been struggling with finding a name that would be 'Italian enough' to satisfy him while also remaining something my sister actually liked.  Anyway, the day she was born (which was incredibly eventful to say the least), they surprised us with this name:

GiaLena Marie S.

Gia was a name my sister liked.
Lena is her boyfriend's grandmother's name.
Marie is my sister's middle name and her boyfriend suggested it since my sister nearly died giving birth.

The name took a bit for me to get used to but I think it fits my miracle niece perfectly now!

For curiosity's sake, what do you think?  And have you seen any other "combo" names like this that you liked?
