Harry potter names

[fawkes182]

Hello! Need some help as my brain is literally a bowl of mush thanks to the current cooking baby!

Anyway we find out the sex of our baby on the 29th of july and we are thinking of names... usual problem the names I suggest n like the other half doesn't vise versa etc etc! I don't like traditional, I like different or American names. I am also a geek... so geek names linking to films/books I like too. My fav being harry potter. I'm utterly obsessed with harry potter!

Anyway we seem to have agreed on a boys name.. We both like felix :-) my other half likes it as it's Latin for happy/lucky and I like it cos it's the name of the creator of the liquid luck potion in harry potter so I love it as it's harry potter themed but not too obviously harry potter.
Girls names we can't seem to agree. I'm totally and utterly in love with luna... He's on the fence he hasn't said no which is a good thing but he's not said yes either. Also some ppl I've mentioned luna too have all pulled all face or commented that it's stupid... its now starting to make me wonder. But I can think past luna for a girl so anyone got any ideas? Harry potter themed? Xxx

Outing myself, but name is Hermione and has served me very well!

NN Herm, not so good!

My original choice was lily, the poppy after Mrs pomfry. .. then my mum named her cats poppy n lily!!!! Plus everyone I know seems to have poppy n lily now. I do love Bellatrix. .. couldn't have Bella as ppl will think it's twilight lol! Or is it bell?

Lol I'm loving how some of these are rhyming minerva ginerva lol!!

Someone said to me leola which is Anglo for deer, it's pretty but a bit too far away from hp me thinks.

I am loving all these suggestions tho some I'd forgotten about (thanks baby!!!) Xxx

Your names hermione? Did you like it find it annoying? Xxx

Harriet?

Singingsands I like arabella! Xxx

Teddy (Lupin) as a NN for Theodora would be lovely too.

Awww teddy that's a cute one!! Xxx

Fawkes Yes, my name is Hermione and I love my name! It has stood me in such good stead. Seriously.
But I am 45, well older than the HP phase!

I really, really wanted a Bellatrix, but DH overruled the pg hormones on that one. Probably just as well.

But it could be a family alternative for Bella, or any name which shortens to that.

I'm not sure people will think Twilight unless you have an Edward as well.

Buzzfeed to the rescue www.buzzfeed.com/alannabennett/dear-albus-severus-your-name-is-terrible

In case your wondering that's a link to a buzzfeed game which selects your child's Harry Potter name.

I have a daughter called Hermione and she absolutely loves her name. We've had lots of compliments about it and everyone is always pleasantly surprised when she feels them what her name is. You do herbs few pronunciation blunders but once you've corrected people it's usually fine. We call her Miney for short :-)

What about borrowing from another film/book and having Lyra instead? Similar but different to Luna (which I do like)

I love Felix. It's DS2's middle name.

From HP, my favourite is Ginevra - if I'd had a DD I would have called her either Genevieve or Ginevra (DH agreed to the first, not sure he'd have gone for the 2nd though)

How about Kendra which is Dumbledore's mother.

Lily
Tilly (Bathilda)
Molly
Dora (Nymphadora)
Lavender
Cybil

Kendra's good :)

Felix is lovely. I wanted it for one of our DS but it was vetoed :(

I love Luna too, so pretty. I also like Gabrielle (Delacour), Fleur (Delacour), Emmeline (Vance), Rose (Weasley), and Lily.

I did that Buzzfeed quiz and it landed on Peter James. Which is very close to what my daughter's name would have been if she'd been a boy, so worryingly apparently HP and I have similar taste in names.

I like Luna, and Ariana if you'd rather be more subtle. They have a similar sound to them I think.
I also like Molly, because Molly Weasley is definitely somebody worth naming a child after.

Kendra makes me think of her from Buffy. Not the greatest association.

Felix is nice. I know some German speakers who used it for their child as they wanted a name that works in English and German.

Of the HP girls' names, I like Minerva.

I love HP and I think Luna is lovely and I love her character :)
