How common is Hermione

Hi all,
Someone on a different forum said that Hermione is "extremely common" name for adults in the UK. I'm British and have never met a Hermione or even heard of one IRL.

Stats I've found only go back to the 90s. Obviously it had a peak of popularity in the early 2000s because of Harry potter but it wasn't that popular before was it?

Anecdotally, how many women and girls called Hermione do you know and what age are they please?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know one. She’s in her 40s. I heard JKR chose the name because it was unpopular.
