I have to say, I wouldn't use any of these. Not being a big fan of the whole Harry Potter thing, I wouldn't fancy naming my child after a character in a kid's book.

Ginny is Ginevra which I quite like.

Don't forget Fred, George, Percy, Charlie, Bill, James, Lily, Neville, Lee, Seamus, Lavender etc etc.

There's also Cornelius (Fudge)!

I can't decide whether or not I like Cornelius as a name. The nn of Corny is bad... But maybe Cory could be used?

I love Arianna (Dumbledore's sister I think) and wished desperately I hadn't stumbled across it the week after we'd registered DD3 - maybe just maybe if there is a DD4

Severus
Albus
Molly
Arthur
James

Bathilda
Bellatrix

I love Hermiony, Ginny and Luna. I also love Harry. I think you can get away with Harry, Ron and Ginny, Hermiony, dumbledore and Voldermort are definatly out.

My DS is 13, his Dad's surname is Potter. Harry was on our shortlist but I thank GOD in hindsight we didn't use it. His late Grandad was called Harold Potter

I have always loved Hermione but the HP books put me off it... shame.

jingle.. your hamster got off lightly. My rabbits are called Sharpay and Gabriella
