Help[Opinions] Re: Hermione...
in reply to a message by ToveTer
I actually think of a Winters Tale first, I know its not the best play ever but I really like the name, I also think of Helen of Troy's daughter, who was named Hermione.
There are several actresses and such named Hermione, so it does have some other known useage:

But I agree, lots of people, for the mean time, will associate it with Harry Potter. But as time goes on, the books will fade out of peoples memory. At least now people know how to pronounce the name!

this is OT a bit..
...but on the subject of people knowing how to pronounce Hermione - J.K. Rowling once said that her favourite mispronouncement of the name that she's heard from a fan is 'HER-me-wun' (as in the number one at the end). lol I think that's quite funny.

I used to know a girl at school (she was extremely strange in many ways) who absolutely INSISTED that the correct pronounciation of Herione was 'her-me-wun,' and that everyone else, including J.K Rowling, had got it wrong!

When I first began reading the books, I pronounced it "HER-mee-own."
I like it a lot better now that I know how it is actually pronounced. Actually, I really love the name. Hopefully it won't remain forever connected with Harry Potter.
