Harry Potter Question

are you going to/would you name your kid(s) after some characters in the series?

i want to have alot of children,so i really like these names in particular:

-ginny
-lily
-luna
-james
-dominique
-victoire
-fleur
-oliver
(as if i'm ever going to have that many children)

i also like the names harry,ron and hermione.but the the name hermione is rather unncommon,but that's one of the reasons i like it.
so i'm basically asking these things:

1)do you like the names i listed
2)would you/are you going to/have you,name(d) your children after the characters.if so, which names
*
nvm about ron,hermione,harry,oliver,james and fleur.i'd maybe use victoire,dominique or ginevra {i have other reasons for liking the name dominique} as a middle name.the only names i would actually use for first names would probably be lily

My kid is going to be named James — well, my boy is, at least. Best name ever, I think! And it's not even because of Harry Potter, I've just always loved the name.

I like Angelina, Dean, Oliver, Lily, Peter, and Colin.

Also, I love all of the Weasleys' names. Arthur, Molly, Bill [William], Charlie, Percy (haha, awesome name!), Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny.

Finally, I like the name Narcissa. It's just really cool.

_I like Ginevra, it sounds classic and unique at thhe same time, and Ginny is a cute nickname!
_Lily and James are nice, but it's a little too common maybe? Really nice though
_I just love the name Luna :)
_I think Fleur/Victoire are great, it sounds sophisticated/classy ^^
_Dominique.. well here in France it is kind of old-fashioned, so it's weird to me, but ok :)
_Oliver is a popular name I think, I like it, it's cute!

I also like Harry, I adore Hermione, but Ronald always reminds me of Ronald McDonald :s

I think i would! I like some of the names that you listed up there. Like Luna, i love that name, Ginny, even though her real name is Ginerva eeehh, Lily, it's a nice name, and James, i got that from other books too but i really like that name. Another name I like is Draco. I wouldn't name any of my kids that, if i had any, but it suits him.

I wouldn't really use Harry or Ron, they are kinda common, and Hermione is sort of a mouthful but they are nice names all the same.

Other names ummmm...I like Fred and George even though they are pretty common too. I really like the name Percy, i don't think it suits the character in the book but i like the name. Bill and Charlie too but not so much! Dean is good too!

There are alot of great names in the books and it would be difficult to choose!

I'd be willing to consider if I'll ever end up having children with an English-speaking man.

I like the names Hermione, Lily, James, Charlie and Lavender. Mostly because when I was still too young to really know anything about the English language or English culture, these were the names I considered the prettiest.

I like a lot of names from Harry Potter. I've once or twice entertained the idea of naming one of my kids after one of them (Remus, Oliver, Dominique, Luna, Draco) but I'm not sure if I'd actually name one of my kids those.

LoveDraco123 said:
First of all, the names you listed are quite common. I believe that if you had to name your kids after a character, it should be made prominent to people who your child is named after.

I would name my children after a character, but I can't for reasons I won't state. But if I could, I would go for Draco. :) Why? So someone asks his name and says, "As in Draco Malfoy? :O How awesome!" XD

I do like Rose, which is the name Hermione and Ron gave to their daughter of course, although I don't like Rosie even for a nickname (RON!) So I think if I were ever to have a daughter, she would have Rose for her first name, Veronica for her middle name. But then again, I might change my mind by then, and Rose is pretty common and not really clear as to whether it is a HP name or not, unless you know me of course :D
I actually LOVE Bellatrix, but can you just imagine Bellatrix for a daughter?

If I have a boy I'll name him James, but not because of HP. I've just always had that name planned for a future son before I even knew what Harry Potter was. I wouldn't name any kids after characters on purpose. If I really like a name I would use it, but not like just naming them after that character.

Angel-Trix said:
I would absolutely not even think of naming my children after these characters (especially Ginny), or any other characters in Harry Potter. I want to name my child a timeless name. A great one, with a wonderful origin. I don't want to just give them something from a book I read as a child. How do you think they'll react when you say:

"I named you James after a guy in my favourite book. But he was on the good side."

I would also appreciate to name them after someone with a great personality that isn't thought of as bad, unlike Ginny the girl with many boyfriends and James the bully. No offense, but I really hate those characters, but it's okay if you like them.

Besides, I plan to marry Lee Taemin from SHINee one day, and I don't think these names will appeal to him. The names in harry Potter are either to plain (Harry, Ronald), out there so that no other person would even think of the names(Hermione, Luna, I mean, you have to think of the possibility of them getting teased) or after characters I hate or think they're names are too...I don't know the word but I hope you get me (Ginny), or too much of one thing, such as girly (Lily, Dominique) or just ugh (Albus).

Oh, but I think Fleur is a really pretty name. And it's after my favourite character. But I still won't name my child that. It all depends on what actually FITS mine and my husband's taste, and the type of person you want to help them become, not just some name you like.

Yes but not intentionally - I always loved the name Lily so that was going to be for a girl and all the men on my boyfriend's side of the family are called James so that would be the boy - so if we have one of each they would be Lily and James :)
