Thanks for your comments! I think they're really useful, actually, especially in the... everything! :D And it really does seem I'm being oversensitive with my suggestions, so that's good.
For sibsets I like:
Hermione and
Evadne - looove!
Evadne's always felt bold and sparky and witty and intelligent for me, and a good name for a dynamic girly, and if the HP connotations outlast the fad,
Hermione will have that association too, which is never bad.
Evadne is so pretty too.
Hermione and
Lydia -
Lydia's always been a staple favourite of mine, and has the same classic but interesting feel.
Hermione and
Perdita - the meaning of
Perdita is so negative, but it's a morbid and interesting meaning which has always intrigued me. Shakespearian too! Which is a plus. Dita is a cute nn too.
Hermione and
Xanthe - these feel a little eclectic together, but like above they both have history or a classic feel and are usable today. Besides, I love them both, so it'd definitely grow on me.
For combos I like:
Hermione Cecelia - no, I love this one. Both lovely names.
Hermione Victoria - very classic and dignified sounding, and well balanced feeling too. A nice mixture of established but unusual and stately.
Thanks so much! :)
