Thinking of Hermione for a girl's name but wondered if it was too pretentious? Any views?

Oh there's endless fun to be had with shortening Hermione:

Miney
Mines
Hermy1
Herms
Hermy
Things that rhyme with Hermy which you spend your adolescence praying that no-one will spot.
Amy
Oi you!
etc

not my personal taste and then there is that whole Harry Potter thing...

I've always thought there's something not quite right about it, sorry don't like it.

SpongeBrain - you are a GENIUS! Thankyou!

thank you janeite !

mrs weasley, not Voldermort then? He's certainly likely to be the only one in his class - do you think his teacher will call him He-who-must-not-be-named?!!

I'm not keen personally, I don't like the way it sounds/looks. Not sure if the HP thing is good or bad, but certainly everyone will assume that you are a fan. You only know if that's OK with you.

I like it.

I like it. Wasn't there some actress a long time ago called Hermione Gingold or something? Think that's where I came across the name.

LyraSilvertongue · 27/05/2008 18:42

There's an actress called Hermione Norris who was in Cold Feet and (I think) Wire In The Blood.

It just makes me think Harry Potter.
