Love it!

Not only do I love the name Hero (as I have a special fondest for the play Much Ado About nothing), but seeing a Hermione and Hero within the same family is very Shakespearean and makes me squee. :)

I like it, but I've never been a big fan of the character. She's so annoying, Hero and Claudio deserved each other!

That's a horrible name for a girl. I still wouldn't like it for a boy, though.

Shouldn't she be Heroine?

Well, Hero is a female character from Greek Mythology and from a Shakespeare play so techinally Hero is a female name regardless of the fact the word is normally used to describe men.
