Hmm, tricky one. I think it's one name. Posh people pronounce it 'Sinjun'. There's film of Liverpool playing in the old days with some posh twat of a commentator going 'Sinjun' every time he gets the ball. Twat.

It's one name, but two separate words (like some of the African names suggested here), so, although technically not double-barrelled, I'd say it's a goer. Only ever heard it pronounced by Jimmy Greaves and some ITV(?) announcer as a kid.

So, then de Jong, van der Vaart & all count as well?

New challenge: find a poncier name than that.

No, as those aren't names, but suffixes providing the reason for the name (de Jong = the Young, van der Vaart = from the Vaart - google translate says speed, but most dock areas I know in inland towns have a vaartstraat or vaartkom- maybe Nooly can provide the reason for this), like 'ap' in Welsh.
St. John is two-worded. Both 'Saint' and 'John' could exist independently as surnames, but are inextricably linked in this scenario.
