Is Hermione usable?

[ScarlettNell]

Thanks!

Yes! Lovely name.

I know a 7 year old Hermione, she’s lovely.

Honestly?

As a first name, no.

It is genuinely astonishing how few people know how to pronounce it and do face upon hearing it.

It's my daughter's middle name and whilst I'm really glad I used a much loved name, I'm also glad it's not her first name

Gorgeous name. I know a little Hermione, nn Mimi.

Yes yes yes! I love it!

Yes! I love this name!

Yes, love it, it is top of my list but we are expecting a boy apparently. What would Hermione's brother be called? Feeling slightly sad we won't be using it unless the scan was wrong

Makes me think of Harry Potter but it is a nice name.

Yes my DD has this name, I'm surprised that we get very few HP references.

Definitely. Also her character is clever, kind and brave in HP. All lovely character traits!

I prefer Helen, the name of the original Hermione's mother.

In terms of shortening it, my Dd's is just shortened to Mione.

A brother for Hermione is Alexander. 😉

I really like it.

But she might get fed up if someone shouts out ten points to Gryffindor every time she gets a question right in class

I've taught a few Hermiones and I'm sorry to say this has never happened

I love it! Very elegant.
I was at school with one who's nn became Worm (hermy wormy) which is innovative....

It's a great name, go for it.

I don't love Mione as a shortened form. I think you might have to be more creative if you want a nickname, but I prefer creative nicknames anyway.

Its a beautiful name and reminds me of Emma Watson. Thinking of the character of Harry Potter, I think its a good name for a girl.

I like it a lot. My first thought is Hermione Granger, and she's a pretty great role model imo.

I love it! I know one. She's mostly known as Minnie.

Personally I wouldn't use it. In about ten years maybe, but right now I still feel it's way too close to Hermione Granger. I feel the same about the trendy Game Of Thrones names.
