Eleanor or Hermione?

[TIPosy]

Hello,

Baby 5 is due this summer and after much debate and involving our children it looks like the finalists are

Eleanor
Hermione

I’m French so we’d pronounce Hermione Her-me-on. For Eleanor I’ll probably pronounce the a in it. Also being foreign I don’t understand where each name stands from a cultural/social perspective. I guess timeless classics?

I don’t mind the HP connection, but I’m worried Eleanor might be very common/popular at the moment.

Our other children are Josephine, Iris, Theodore and Charlotte. We don’t shorten their names.

Opinions, advice and feedback welcome.

Thank you :)

I think they're both acceptable names but neither would be pronounced the way you want. If that doesn't bother you then go ahead. Eleanor is a vastly more popular/common than Hermione but Hermione is heavily associated with HP.

Both are likely to not be pronounced the way you want. Hermione probably more so as most peoples only reference is the HP character

I prefer Eleanor and think it goes better with your other DCs names

Eleanor (Ellie) much the best of the two
