WDYT?

What do you think of the combination Emmeline Rosemary Ruth? And how do you all pronounce Emmeline?

Also, is the name Hermione too connected to Harry Potter to ever be used seriously as a name? I really like the combination Isabella Hermione, but I'm afraid that the association is too strong. :/

You'll have more to worry about from Isabella than from Hermione at the moment. A Twilight-Harry Potter combination is, well, explosive these days, especially if you'd call your girl Bella. Feminism arguments, abound!

That said, it's a pretty name. :)

I like Emmeline Rosemary Ruth, too, though it's quite the mouthful.

Agreed. I wouldn't worry so much about Hermione, since it's a middle name and you can always say you just like Shakespeare, but Isabella Hermione might be a bit too much, even though the combo is pretty.

Emmeline Rosemary Ruth, though a bit old-fashioned, sounds nice. You're naming the kid after someone?

Is Isabella really that closely associated with Twilight? I agree that Bella is, but no one really ever calls her Isabella in the books...

And no, I know no one named Emmeline, Rosemary, or Ruth, though I am a bit fond of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I just really like all three names, and I was stringing names together one day and just really liked this combination. :)

Right now, I think it is pretty obvious, especially when you add Hermione. Maybe in a few years it won't be as blatant, because it won't be new (much like Hermione is; though people remember the character, they are used to the name by now), but right now, yes, I think the connection is close enough. People may not call the character Isabella in the books (I'm taking you word in that, since I couldn't quite stomach the book), but they know it's her name.
