HelpRe: Augusta & Olympia
in reply to a message by Bex
I really like both. I think they hit that sweet spot of being effortless to pronounce and spell, but no one is really using them at the moment. They don't sound dated or made up. I honestly love the feel of both of them - Augusta is so vast and regal, and Olympia is like...sportier regal? They both feel fresh and established all at once. They're both beautiful names and would make a lovely sibset.
I like Hermione a bit less. I absolutely, absolutely love Harry Potter, but it's pretty plain that the name is from that. It feels like more focused on creating a tribute to a fandom than thinking of a suitable name for a child. It's kinda low-effort but trying too hard all at once. I'd pick something else for the third.

Theodora and Hermione are the children that I already have.
Hermione is a name used in HP, but it's had a long history before J.K Rowling used it. I did not pick it as some sort of 'fandom'. I like HP, but I did not use it because of that, I chose another Greek name with lots of history and meaning. (I also studied Shakespeare winters tale in high school, which had Hermione in it!)
