Is Hermione usable?

[ScarlettNell]

Thanks!

Yes

Absolutely! Great name.

I know of a few early twenties Hermiones, they're all extremely posh. None younger than that, probably because of the HP connection, though I'm sure they exist!

It's a beautiful name with a Shakespearean history!

I wouldn't, only thing I think of is Harry Potter. Soz.

I think of Hermione Norris, which is a good thing.

I'm not a HP fan though - never read/seen it. The only thing I know about the character is that Emma Watson portrayed her.

Why wouldn't it be? Yes, there is a well known character of that name, but it would be silly not to use a name for that reason.

I know a 7 year old Hermione and she is lovely. Kind, caring, polite and cheerful. Do it!

DD was at preschool with a Hermione.

I am a huge HP fan and i love it.

I would love to use Molly for a girl (from Molly Weasley) but DH works with a horrible girl called Molly so that's spoilt it a bit 😔

Yes! It’s lovely

My daughter is called Hermione. I love her name (obviously) but she loves her name too. ❤❤

Use it.

I do like this name but the lack of nick names bothers me - what do you call her for short??

Yes

Yes! It is a more unusual than Harry but the HP connection doesn't seem to put off the thousands of parents with Harry's.

Hermione Norris is a good namesake.

Even if there is a harry potter connection Hermione Granger is a great character. So totally usable. And yes to Hermione Norris.

@Blueberrysandgrapes76 why does everyone need a nickname nowadays? Probably 80% of the people I know don't have nicknames and it's never bothered them!

My dd's middle name is Hermione. I love it but wasn't quite brave enough to try to use it for the first name! I love hp so thought it might be a bit too much. I wouldn't think anything other than 'cool!' if I met a little girl with the name.

It's just a bit long to keep saying without a nn

Yes def. know a 4 year old hermione and I think it's a beautiful name

It's not usable, IMO, but I'm a massive Harry Potter fan and had never heard of Hermione before Hermione Granger.

Absolutely. Go for it.

Who cares what anyone else thinks. But she might get fed up if someone shouts out ten points to Gryffindor every time she gets a question right in class

But seriously, if you like it then use it don't let a fictional character get in the way

Love it

Yes! Great name. Do it.

And Hermione Granger is a great association (bright, brave, loyal, true to herself) if people make the Potter connection

Lovely name. And because of HP everyone knows how to pronounce it.

Yes
