Many celebrities are enamored with long and unusual names. A few of them had hyphenated names at birth. Others developed hyphenated names to honor a family member. Still others chose that option because someone famous in their profession was already using that name. And yes, a few did so just so their names will appear larger on movie marquees and such.

Sometimes, the hyphen appears between the first two names, sometimes between the last two names, and sometimes, it’s just three names without any hyphen at all. Can you identify the correct placement of the hyphen for these 12 famous names?
