Re: Draco
in reply to a message by abster
Well... firstly, I am not very fond of Harry Potter (please, no one shoot me!) though I am aware that thousands upon thousands of people are. I think no one would really believe that he was not named after the H.P character.
Draco, as a name, it's edgy and cool. I like it very much. But I think there is no way to escape from the Harry Potter association. I know a woman called Hermione. She was obviously named before the books came out but she still gets, "Like in Harry Potter!!!" all the time.
Me, I would not use any of the less-usual names that J.K.R uses on main characters because I think the kid would be Harry Pottered to death...
