Behind the Name: Comments for the name Hermia

Comments for HERMIA:

Hermia is a very pretty and highly unusual name. I love it! I like to pronounce it "Her-MY-a". I don't like 'MEE-a' very much.

I think this name is kind of pretty. And its literary use in Shakespeare makes it interesting, especially when it's a German usage. And yes, I like it better pronounced "Her-My-u" than "Her-MEE-u.

I like pronouncing it Her-MY-u, and I would spell it Hermaya. :)

I liked the name Hermione before but I'd hate to use it now since Harry Potter and all, so Hermia is an even more beautiful substitute.

This name is ugly. It sounds like the word "hernia".

In German it's pronounced HER-mee-ah. [noted -ed]
