I am slightly embarrassed to admit that for the first two books, I misread her name as Hermoine, so I'd been saying hir-MOYN and thinking, "Wow, that is one weird name!"

---

Then I realized the I came before the O, and said HIR-mee-ohn until the movies came out. Still thought it was a weird name.

Hermione has never really been used in the United States, even after the popularity of the Harry Potter series. It's very, very British. And even there, I get the impression it has a slightly old fashioned "posh" aspect to it.
