Help[Opinions] Re: Hermione?
in reply to a message by Amara L.
I think that maybe in like 10-20 years Hermione might be okay and not have the HP association as strong? I'm also thinking that Hermione might actually pick up as a name (maybe in the late top 900-1000) because of HP and fans that like the character (who will eventually have their kids in like 10 years and name them Hermione). And yeah hahah, I do think that would be a little pretentious, but I think if people ask if you got the name from HP you could just say no and that you just liked the name (adding that it was from Shakespeare).
If you really like the name, I would go for it. I really do like Hermione, but I actually like Ione better (my top name right now).
I really like those sibsets you've listed. I like Hermione and Violet as sisters with the repeated "io" and I like Hermione and Penelope as sisters with the similar endings (pronouncing the "e"). I don't think the combo Hermione Beatrice is too much for the He-/Be- combination because it's more of a Her-/Bea-... Hahaha she could go by Herbie for a nickname.
I'm not usually very good at making sibsets/combos, but tell me if you like any:
Other sibsets?:
Hermione and Florence
Hermione and Evadne
Hermione and Hortensia
Hermione and Lydia
Hermione and Perdita
Hermione and Philippa "Pippa"
Hermione and Xanthe
Combos:
Hermione Cecelia
Hermione Clover
Hermione Eliza
Hermione Portia
Hermione Victoria
Thanks for any replies :)

Thanks for your comments! I think they're really useful, actually, especially in the... everything! :D And it really does seem I'm being oversensitive with my suggestions, so that's good.
For sibsets I like:
Hermione and Evadne - looove! Evadne's always felt bold and sparky and witty and intelligent for me, and a good name for a dynamic girly, and if the HP connotations outlast the fad, Hermione will have that association too, which is never bad. Evadne is so pretty too.
Hermione and Lydia - Lydia's always been a staple favourite of mine, and has the same classic but interesting feel.
Hermione and Perdita - the meaning of Perdita is so negative, but it's a morbid and interesting meaning which has always intrigued me. Shakespearian too! Which is a plus. Dita is a cute nn too.
Hermione and Xanthe - these feel a little eclectic together, but like above they both have history or a classic feel and are usable today. Besides, I love them both, so it'd definitely grow on me.
For combos I like:
Hermione Cecelia - no, I love this one. Both lovely names.
Hermione Victoria - very classic and dignified sounding, and well balanced feeling too. A nice mixture of established but unusual and stately.
Thanks so much! :)
