We have these names where I live in Tennessee and most of the people who live here are of Scots Irish ancestry or English. I was curious if these kind of names originated here or did they come from over there?

Yes. I have three grandaughters, Sarah-Jane, Billie-Jean and Ruby-Joy.

Never heard of them here in England except when they are separated like Barbara, Betty, Sue etc. but as a rule we don't seem to have double names.

Yeah we do, but not as many people seem to find it fashionable as in certain parts of The States.
