if you had to name you child after a Harry Potter character what would you choose?

Boy- Sirius or Draco
Girl- Bellatrix or Myrtle

Hagrid

Minerva
Xenophilius

If I HAD to, neither of the boy names are great, but slight preference towards Draco. Girls, Bellatrix.

Hermione for girl. Hagrid for a boy.

Harry
😁

Luna

Molly or James. Boring, moi?!

Minerva is good too.

Fleur and george

I just wouldn't 🙄

We named dogs Myrtle & Luna

Bellatrix, known as Bella
Draco, known as Dray

(Of the choices you've given).
Although I'd prefer to go with the diminutive name in the first place as that's what I'd call them.

From your options - Sirius and Myrtle. Otherwise I’d pick Harry and Fleur.

I would choose Fleur and maybe Dean
Molly and Severus, says my daughter.

My black cat is called Bella(trix).

@FairViewRosie25 You've reminded me that if I win the lottery I'm going to have two golden retrievers called Merry and Pippin (Lord of the Rings).

Boy = Charlie
Girl = Ginny

Bellatrix, Lucius or Draco.
All wrong un's but they had great names!

Grawp if it’s a boy.
Hufflepuff if it’s a girl.

Girls: Ginny or Minevra

Boys: Sirius or Remus

Neville or Ginny. I felt sorry for Neville and like the name Ginny.
My daughter is a Ginny born in the late eighties before Harry Potter.

Luna, I very nearly did for my 8 year old. Every Luna I've met since has been such a lovely soul too.

I have met a Hermione in real life and a boy called Harry Potter was in my brother's class in school!

I know someone who has and it wasn't one of the mainstream names either 😆 I would go with Ginny I think.

boy - Ollivander or Remus
girl - my first preference would be Ginny, but that’s the cat’s name! So probably Rowena (Ravenclaw)

We were going to use Luna if we had a girl, but we didn't have any girls.

We did use Merlin as one of their middle names not strictly HP related but the fantasy/magic connection was part of the appeal.

I would probably use George but it doesn't go with our surname. And James but there are other Jameses in the family.

TBF there are quite a lot of "normal" names in HP if you accept minor characters:

I do not actually like any other of the male names. I was incredibly fussy about boys' names which was a bit inconvenient, as we have three! I maintain we cannot possibly have another child because there are no other boys' names we could agree on in the world.
