Hermione is steadily becoming one of my all-time favorite names. I'm not particularly worried about the inevitable association with Harry Potter, because it's such a lovely name and Hermione Granger is a strong character.
I'm glad to see someone else who loves Briony. My SO hates it, so no little Brionys for me, but I adore it anyway.

Thank you for the detailed feedback!
Natalie is my own name and mother's name and Virginia nn Ginny honors my beloved late grandmother, so both of those would honor if I chose them.
Joseph and Lea/Leia have been growing on me a lot lately, as have Sadie and Damien. I struggle with Lea/Leia because the accent would not work well in the US and because, while I am fine with a Star Wars association, I wouldn't want to burden a daughter with the spelling if she didn't want it. I'm considering it for a middle name though!

Thanks for the feedback!
Sadie is an old-fashioned nickname for Sarah, kind of like Bess for Elizabeth or Polly for Mary.
I also dislike Bob/Bobby as a nickname for Robert. I much prefer Robbie. Robert also looks like it will be a middle name choice rather than a first name.
I'm glad you like Elisabeth with the nickname Ellie. My SO actually came up with Ellie when I expressed how much I liked Elisabeth, but don't like Beth or Liz. It's really grown on me. :)
