Nah... they're just copying Mary Baker Eddy and Helena Bonham Carter (as she prefers being called)

Most people with Anglo-Irish non-hyphenated double-barrelled names seem to come from the US. I think its something to do with hedging their bets - not wanting to be seen as blue blooded patricians but wanting some of the cachet

The family name Bonham-Carter was promulgated by Royal licence in 1788. They are rolled gold aristocrats, most are in politics or banking or both.
