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:
