This has got to be one of the all time cliches of BtN, but I've got Hermione on the brain. It's a really nice name - interesting but classic. Unfortunately, I don't hate HP but I'm not a huge fan, and I do find the association a huge negative point - what do you think? Do you think it's a trivial point or do you think it makes the name less usable too? Do you think that the HP association will eventually die down, or do you think it's stuck like that? And do you think that staring down HP comments with a 'No, you plebeian fool, I got it from Shakespeare actually' would be a terribly pretentious thing to do (as I do)? Does this mean that if I want to use the oh-so-pretty Hermione one day but opt to avoid HP comments, it'll have to be regulated to middle name position? Anyway... what do you think of it?

Incidentally, I'm struggling with combos and sibsets for it, because I'm awful at those at the moment. My brain just spewed up Hermione Poppy which is definitely vivacious but not well matched and a little twee.
For sibsets I like Hermione and Violet, Hermione and Beatrice, Hermione and Penelope. For the record I thought I liked Hermione Violet and Hermione Beatrice as combos too, but I've just noticed the Io/io repetitions and He/Be repetition which isn't that nice and is really odd and distracting. Do you have any suggestions? :)
