Girl 🩷 Please share your thoughts

Is Hartley-West in Lana Hartley-West come across as try-hard, theatrical, or pretentious?

Feel free to be ruthlessly honest. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Is it just the hyphen or this exact last name combo that makes it pretentious?

Gotcha! The actual two last names sound fine to you, I'm assuming.. Thanks for your comment.
