Harry Potter Names

plunderb

In honor of the final Harry Potter movie, all nerds are invited to share:

1. Your favorite HP character name (that you would use for a child).

2. Your favorite HP character name (that you would never use for a child).

3. A name you love that you can't use because of HP.

 

Here are mine:

1. Mollywobbles (DD's nn)

2.  Minerva

3. Arthur (Molly and Arthur sibset is a no-go, esp since DH is a redhead)

MandyWes

1. Luna - immediately vetoed by entire family but I LOVE this name. (and the character!)
2. Fred & George
3. Luna again, I guess....

HP has some of the worst names in a book, ever by the way

princessjenney

1. Lily (I would use it if it wasn't so popular)

 

2. Hermione

 

3. Luna (Looney lol)

I'm cheating and giving multiple answers!

1. Your favorite HP character name (that you would use for a child).

Luna. I know a lot of people think it's "out there", but I really like it and would consider it if we had a girl

Ariana 

Lily 

2. Your favorite HP character name (that you would never use for a child).

Remus & Sirius - both awesome names IMO. But I'd never use them.

Lavender

Oliver

Bellatrix 

3. A name you love that you can't use because of HP.

Hermione. I never heard of it until the books, but it's a very cool name that you could NEVER use now because of the books.  

Spookster

1. Rowena (Rowena Ravenclaw)

2. Bellatrix- I think its interesting and different but to me its pretty.  

3. Sirius- I hear this name and think of HP immediately.  

HAFranklin

1) Lily

2) Lavendar

3) Minerva (I had a neighbor by this name as a kid, and always thought it was beautiful)

1. GIRLS: Molly, Ginny (though I'd use a different full name than Ginevra), Hannah (Abbott, of Hufflepuff), Gabrielle (sister of Fleur Delacoeur), Lily (Harry's mother); BOYS: Colin (Creevey); Nicholas (Nearly-Headless Nick or Flamel); Cormac (MacLeggen); Charlie (Weasley); Oliver (Wood)

2. GIRL: Hermione or Andromeda (Tonks' mother); BOY: Sirius.

3. I don't think any of the names from HP that I like are so specific to HP that I wouldn't use them.

This thread ROCKS! Definitely a challenge though. Might have to pick a boy and girl for each one. Hmm...

1. Cedric and Seamus (DH is Irish!) and Luna (although I think I'd be a little jealous of my daughter if her name was Luna. wow, that's a little weird haha)

 2. Albus and Bellatrix

3.  Sirius (too sad!!) and Lily

What a great idea, Plunderb!

1. Girl: Ginny, but I would use the full name Virginia instead of Ginevra.

    Boy: Arthur, DH doesn't like it though.

 

2. Girl: Luna, I wouldn't use it for a child, but we named our dog Luna (our cat is Nargle).

    Boy: Ron, it just doesn't fit our normal naming style. 

 

3. Girl: Hermione or Bellatrix.  Both names would immediately conjure up HP for most people.  

   Boy: Sirius or Remus.  Both interesting names, but again too HP to use.
