The answer

There is no harm in being named with a compound name of two or more names, or with a single name, as this does not require proof since it is the default, provided that the names do not contain a Sharia-prohibited element. Prohibition is what requires proof, and many Islamic peoples have customarily used compound names, and none of the scholars have objected to that.
