This name was no longer for me because of word "hernia" and "hermit".

The reality is while it is a gorgeous name, it is unusable as a given name in the Americas and the majority of Europe and parts of Africa and any other countries that speak English, Spanish, French, German, or any romance or Slavic language due to it being spelled like hernia.

In Agatha Christie’s book “The Pale Horse” there is a character named Hermia Redcliffe.

I don’t really like this name. “Hermione” or even “Harmonia” is much better.

Hermia is a character for William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

I think this name is kind of pretty. And its literary use in Shakespeare makes it interesting, especially when it's a German usage. And yes, I like it better pronounced "Her-My-u" than "Her-MEE-u.

Hermia is a very pretty and highly unusual name. I love it! I like to pronounce it "Her-MY-a". I don't like 'MEE-a' very much.
