A couple of questions
Replies
1. I like Elliot much more than Charles, but if I had to use them together, I'd choose Charles Elliot. It flows better than Elliot Charles. 2. I pronounce it by the Polish way her-MEE-nyah. If I'd read an English text or talk to an English girl, I would probably pronounce it her-MEEN-ee-ah. It's beautiful name, cute, gentle, but strong at the same time. I like it. About few years ago I read a Polish book, and there was a girl named Herminia, with a wonderful diminutive Hermisia (her-MEE-shah). It is sweet. A diminutive which I also like is Minnie or Minia. A similar name which I like is Hermina.

LOL I forgot to respond to this earlier but I think it's funny that you find Charles creepy. I can see it.
Charles Elliot, because I much prefer Charles to Elliot.
Intuitively, I would say her-MIN-ee-uh. I have no idea how right or wrong that is. I've actually been warming up to the name Herman lately, and Herminia reminds me a great deal of it, so I quite like it right now. Bonus points if I get to call the kid Minnie.

To be honest, I was surprised about Mayim getting deleted. We considered that name ourselves, and I found the BtN link quite useful then.
I noticed a change too when checking the popularity of names!
Yeah, I just noticed it when I clicked on Herminia. I like the banners!
1) Charles Elliot because Charles has some significance for me and would give me Charlie and Chaz.
2) I'd say her-MIN-ee-uh, but I'd be prepared to be corrected. It's ok.
