[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Hermione?
in reply to a message by Emma Jenny
It's not like Harry Potter is a negative association. You can't avoid names because they are used on fictional characters, otherwise there would be few names left.
Some of my favorite names have associations: Mercedes (old favorite I have since outgrown) has the car association. Felix has the cat association. My daughter's name, Fiona, has the Shrek association.
Intelligent people can see past the stereotypes.
While I wouldn't feel comfortable using Hermione on a child of my own, I would love to see other people use it for their kids.
