Beatrice or Hermione or..

[thenamegamebeginsagain]

Or maybe something else?

We are thinking along the lines of Hermione, or Beatrice or maybe Lily.

DH really likes the names Hermione and Lily ( I do too, and I love Harry Potter so would be very fitting!!)

We go to church though, and Harry Potter is very much shunned by the church and when I even suggested we might be considering Hermione, one of my friend's from church looked horrified.

If we used a name associated with Harry Potter, do you think we'd be shunned from the church?

The see Harry Potter as literally, from the devil (have been thinking maybe we won't shouldn't go back )

I also love the name Beatrice but MIL thinks it's too old fashioned.

Sorry for the name change (Wanted to stay anonomous from some one I know on the boards!)have 4 DC already (none with Harry potteresque names though)

Sorry for the ramble!

Hello, my DD is called Hermione - hence my nickname on here.
Hermione was the daughter of Menelaus & Helen (who then ran off with Paris and became Helen of Troy) in Greek mythology.
Hermione is also a character in the Winter's Tale by Shakespeare.
I think these tales will (and have) lived on long, long after Harry Potter will be remembered. Harry Potter is only a fictional story. It does not make a child bad by having a name that a character in a book does.....
