I love Hermione as well... and have the same fears about Harry Potter as you do. I also thought like you... thought it was awkward and kind of geeky (Kind of like Hermione Granger, huh?), but not I love it (much as I, and so many others across the globe love Miss Granger). I think the verdict is yet to be decided if there will be a huge surge of Harry Potter babies... i guess we'll have to wait til todays younger generation procreates.
But I also must say, of all the Potter names, I think Hermione is the best :)
Edited to add this thought: Do they use the same names for characters in all the various translations world wide? I was just thinking it might be quite difficult to translate Hermione or Ginerva into Chinese and such. Hmmm...
Your eyes, your smile, made my little life worthwhile. The sky was a lot more blue when I was on top of you.
