Help[Opinions] Re: Hermione
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
Hm. People at BNaBBT are witty as all hell, but they're not realistic.
My opinion: in real life, the name Hermione is actually usable now because of HP. Otherwise it'd be thought of like Portia. Sure, it'll take a while before HP isn't a big distraction from the name itself, but I think it's likely we'll see plenty of Hermiones named -- especially once the films have stopped for a couple years. Perhaps not till they have stopped for 15 years .. take Leia and Madison as examples?
I like the name and pronounce it the same as you. Stress on second syllable.

Hermione and Aslan
I like it a lot and feel as you do that this is a coincidental *good* time to use it. It might be considered an odd name in some quarters, and little Hermione's all over can take *comfort* in knowing there are others.
Might be a good time for a boy named Aslan, too! *LOL*

yeah.. little Hermiones all over, hehee. And we'll probably see them, when the HP kids are having their own .. funny as it seems right now. It could seem cutting-edge when Aslan or Hermione's about 10, IMO. I mean, if one were named now.
I'd never have believed we'd see Madison in the top five, if you told me that when Splash came out in 1984. But that's where the name was originally exposed. (No pun intended.) I still find it hard to believe that people would use a name from a character like Madison was, but maybe the name just soaked into the mainstream consciousness and folks forgot where they heard it. They "just knew it was a name."

I didn't care for Trinity
when I heard it in the first Matrix movie, and it has *flown* up the popularity ranking, with no other source I can think of. I never saw that coming.
