Harry potter names

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

If you love Luna (which I do) but feel it might be a little too HP - how about Evanna after the actress?

Or Dorea - Harry's grandma's name?

Felix and Luna both gorgeous.

DH vetoed both on the basis of cat's name and HP

Rosmerta (is also name of Celtic goddess of fertility and abundance)

Remus (one of the mythological twins, raised by a wolf, who founded Rome)

My favourite of the girls names is definitely Ariana/Arianna. Classy, beautiful but still a strong enough link to HP.
