Harry Potter names

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I don't know if this has ever had its own post, and if it has then I apologise, but in the same vein as the literary names post below, what are your favourite Harry Potter names?

In a world where the kid wouldn't get picked on, what HP names would you use on your future son/daughter?

I personally love Sirius, but I would never use it!
I also quite like the name Severus! Haha

EDIT: I should probably add that my favourite 'normal' HP names are James and Lily

:)

I love the name Harry, both because of the books and because I like the name. I also really like Ginny, George, Molly, Arhur, Albus (I know, it's weird, but I do like it), Cedric, Seamus, Dean, James, and Lily. I know there are more I like, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Ginny, Molly, and Seamus are all on my list, although I'll probably never use them. I WOULD consider using Harry, but probably not. Maybe as a nickname for Henry? I'd never use Albus, though - it's too obvious, lol.

I honestly cannot stand the books, but I heard a couple months ago there was a character named Luna, and I think that name's really pretty. Lily is also nice, and I like Harry too.

Aww why don't you like them?
I love the name Lily, thats actually a name I would use, but not cause of the books!

I used to like the name Harry until the HP books came out. now of course I would never use it.

I've never read them, so no comment on any other names.

I like Lily, James and Molly. (:

I love the name Lily. I have loved the name Lily since I was very young - I used to try and convince my parents to rename me Lily... but also at the same time I tried to convince them to call me Purple (I was six... so I can just claim that I was weird...)

I have loved the name Lily since before the books came out and my first daughter is definitely going to be named Lily Marie.

Purple and Lily <333

My daughter is named Lilly. I love it b/c it's pretty and I am an HP geek. But hubby picked it, so he was not as hp-tainted.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Haha, I always thought he was a girl til HBP :D

I'M SO OVEREXCITED!

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

I thought he was an emo-looking Italian boy, but no, haha.

WEEEE! I'M ALMOST DED WITH EXCITEMENT. XD

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I thought he was a girl as well, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Me and my sister used to argue about it, and she got to say 'I told you so' when the book came out. XD

*squees and flails at an HP topic*

James, Lily, Ginevra, and Harry are all on my list as first names. Albus, Remus, and Jane (which is Hermione's middle name) are on the list as middle names. Ronald is actually my top pick for a boy's middle name (because I absolutely adore the character to pieces), and Arthur is my second pick for same (though that wasn't originally because of the character, but a different Arthur - nice fringe benefit, though). I like Cedric and Minerva, but I doubt I would ever use them.

Also quite high on my list of girls' first names is Kathleen, after JKR. I had a bad experience with a Joanna in my past, so I eliminated Joanne from the list, but Kathleen would work. (And yes, I do know that's not legally part of her name and she borrowed it from her grandmother...but still, I like it anyway!)

Ahah, aww bless him! You shouldn't laugh really :)

[googlebee-ohmi.livejournal.com]

I love the name Lily... but now I am worried that other HP nerds will be like, you named her after Harry's mom...

The worst HP name I know is Harry Potter. No lie. He is twelve (or is it thirteen), either way. He has an older sister name Claire. So they are Claire and Harry Potter. Poor guy, when he was like six when HP became really big and huge they started calling him by his middle name, Greg.

sorry - posted using my friends name (she was signed on my computer)

[googlebee-ohmi.livejournal.com]

no, I wouldn't laugh at the poor kid. I mean Harry Potter was even around when Harry Potter was named. He is a nice kid ... just with a very pop culture name

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Poor kid!
Greg's a nicer name than Harry any in my opinion!

Icon <3

I like Remus too.
I'm not so keen on teh name Ronald, just not my style! Although I really like the name Arthur [though more for King Arthur reasons than HP ones!]

[kreckless.livejournal.com]

Lily
Gabrielle
Charlie (I like it on a girl)

Oliver
James
Blaise

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about Charlie on a girl, but I think thats because my baby male cousin is called Charlie!
