WDYTO...
I was wondering what people think of the name Hermione besides the Harry Potter association.

Ilove it! For me, the Harry Potter association is not a bad thing, it's made the name recognizable so people now know how to spell and pronounce it (not say hermy-own like idid when I first read the books!)
I'd love to use it but I would only use it as a middle because there aren't any decent nicknames and I find ittoo long to be stand alone. My favourite combos are Eve Hermione, Alice Hermione and Juliet Hermione.

I honestly cannot think of anything but Harry Potter.
Good Shakespeare credentials, but my impression is always that the parents were trying too hard. Herm is ... unattractive, and I don't like Ione much. Together, I'd never consider them.
Don't like it at all. I think the sound is horrible, sounds like a medical condition to me! The meaning is also unappealing to me.
I think it's pretty great. I'm not totally sold on the sound, but etymologically it's great and it has a flexible sort of elegance.
I know next to nothing about Harry Potter, so that won't color my views. Personally, I don't really care for it. It makes me think of a feminine form of Herman (though I know it's not), and I don't really care for Herman. I dunno, the name just doesn't sound pleasant to me, though I admit that I like how it looks. I don't really know what I'd think if I met someone named Hermione in real life; seems a bit larger-than-life for a real person. In short, I like Hermione on paper, but that's about it.
