I think it is a very pretty name, and I am a dork like the character association with it from the books, a strong clever female that my DD can read about. Even though it is a classical name it feels more modern and I assumed because of the films at least would be pronoucable to most people.
However, since my baby was born I have had one person manage to say what a pretty name and not act like I had told them my beutiful baby girl was actually called Shit Head or Arse Face.
I mean no one can pronounce it, a few people manage to choke out "how interesting" or "oh" . One woman even turned to her husband, stopped a second and then said "thats a 'special' name" the way you might say "thats a 'special' picture, what is it?" to a child.
One woman who had a baby called TyShawn had the nerve to look horrified.
Thew few people who seem to recognise the name seem horrified by the fact that Hermione is a character name. It was a name long before the books and people forget Wendy was a made up name for Peter Pan. No one soley links the two together anymore do they?
SO AIBU should have named her Evie, or Lily? Will she hate me for years to come?
