I have met a Hermione in real life and a boy called Harry Potter was in my brother's class in school!

Luna, I very nearly did for my 8 year old. Every Luna I've met since has been such a lovely soul too.

Neville or Ginny. I felt sorry for Neville and like the name Ginny.
My daughter is a Ginny born in the late eighties before Harry Potter.

Girls: Ginny or Minevra

Boys: Sirius or Remus

Grawp if it’s a boy.
Hufflepuff if it’s a girl.

Bellatrix, Lucius or Draco.
All wrong un's but they had great names!

@FairViewRosie25 You've reminded me that if I win the lottery I'm going to have two golden retrievers called Merry and Pippin (Lord of the Rings).

Boy = Charlie
Girl = Ginny

My black cat is called Bella(trix).

Judellie · 28/05/2026 22:12

I would choose Fleur and maybe Dean
Molly and Severus, says my daughter.

Greenknightsuccess · 28/05/2026 22:12

From your options - Sirius and Myrtle. Otherwise I’d pick Harry and Fleur.

Ohfudgeoff · 28/05/2026 22:11

Bellatrix, known as Bella
Draco, known as Dray

(Of the choices you've given).
Although I'd prefer to go with the diminutive name in the first place as that's what I'd call them.

FairViewRosie25 · 28/05/2026 22:10

We named dogs Myrtle & Luna

Peakyblinder18 · 28/05/2026 22:10

I just wouldn't 🙄

Justbreathagain · 28/05/2026 22:08

Fleur and george

ThatBlueLeader · 28/05/2026 22:00

Minerva is good too.

HedgehogsOnTheWall · 28/05/2026 21:54

Molly or James. Boring, moi?!

Coldiron · 28/05/2026 21:54

Luna

Needmorelego · 28/05/2026 21:52

Harry
😁

ThatBlueLeader · 28/05/2026 21:50

Hermione for girl. Hagrid for a boy.

ChalkOutlines · 28/05/2026 21:38

If I HAD to, neither of the boy names are great, but slight preference towards Draco. Girls, Bellatrix.

LasersInTheJungle · 28/05/2026 21:38

Minerva
Xenophilius

Changeisstillpossible · 28/05/2026 21:37

Hagrid
