HelpRe: Hermione
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Hermione. I admit part of my admiration is due to the Harry Potter character, but I also like it because it's just an attractive, interesting name.
There's no denying that Hermione is tied to Hermione Granger, but I don't think it's an exclusive association. There are/were a number of actresses and artists with the name, there's Shakespeare's Hermione, mythology's Hermione, and there's even a Saint Hermione. I think it could be used for a real child today. The only thing that keeps me from putting it on my own long list is its incompatability with my last name.
Hermione has a looooong way to go before it becomes common. Harry Potter will either keep the masses from using it or rescue it from near obscurity, but I can't see a point where it will ever be common.
